Sure, because taking the servers down for a week or two in order to move them would go over soooo much better. -_-

Side note, have people going through level 3 seen an improvement in their service lately? As I recall level3 completely crapped out last week requiring emergency repairs and I was wondering if they may have fixed the problem for level 3 customers permanently.

In general I haven't been too bad even during most peak hours, however Titan HM last night helping a friend I R0'd 3 times, got kicked from the server, and experienced huge amounts of lag in general about 10 minutes into the instance. I suppose it could be possible, though I haven't investigated, that the lag primarily occurs when connecting to an instance server, which I assume is separate from a regular server. BC I noticed no issues, a spike here and there but pretty stable.

The other possibility is that Level-3, because it cannot handle the amount of information, is limiting those with access to communications to the data center. I believe the data solutions center will kick players if the connection is horrendous enough, which extreme packet loss would induce. So Level-3 limitations -> Ormuco Data Center kick.

But I don't actually know for sure haha

And Europe, please :D

Anyway, the NA/EU servers are on Montreal right now, that's pretty close to most NA players. A lot further for EU players...

For me at least, yes. Of course not for everyone, but I know a lot of people who left the game or is leaving when the suscription ends and one of the reasons is the high latency we have now.

Interesting read since Netflix does eat up a good portion of traffic via transits, and peering ports in the US.

Yesterday, more talks have opened between Netflix, Verizon and AT&T.
