MY ISP, Virgin Media (cable) isn't having problems. can people who have problems with Sky please post a tracert so we can identify any bad hops. Different ISPs will route the data with different people, perhaps we can find the issue and Sky can solve it.

I've been having problems too, I'm kinda glad it's not just me. Most content is fine but having everything stand still for 5-6 seconds while doing Garuda or Titan EX makes it unplayable.

I was also getting latency/lag during Titan HM a few days ago. Kinda the reason i haven't played since. The first fight we did was fine, but as it got later and hit primetime it got to the point Titan would even just disappear Or just stand in one place while still doing his normal mechanics. Or when he'd jump in the air, we'd all huddle up in one spot like we normally do and then i'd see everyone take damage but Titan wouldn't be there lol. It was kinda funny but sucked @ the same time. And i'm not with any of the listed companies. I'm with Charter communications. But the bad lag started after 2.1 as well for me. SE just will never get this latency/Lag resolved it seems. 4 months+ since launch and it's only got worse for me.

More unexpected dc's have been occuring since that main!

Is there a certain time of the day this is happening? I know Virgin bottle neck their customers at peak time, does Sky do this aswell?

Well, I have been experiencing it too over the last few days (Australia)

So you are not alone, I do notice it primarily in peak times. The rubber banding or slight 'catch up' is dangerous in Titan X ... but I have managed to deal with it thus far... I would love to see it leave though ^^;;;;

I can only comment as a cable customer here. For cable customers you are only traffic shaped if you go over a certain amount during peak time; I think it's a gigabyte or more depending on your package. If you are just playing an MMO you wont go over the cap so wont be traffic shaped.

Not what you want to hear but try pingzapper or something. It's helped me.

For Gods sake, please read! He said SKY people ISP.

Apart from that, same situation here, hasn't seen any improvements.

Still happening to me, things such as Titan HM are literally unplayable. Sky customer in the UK.
