People who get connected through ATT, even though I'm in the UK it looks like my connection runs through ATT at some point.

I use Comcast and on the eastern side of the US. I have yet to see any lag spikes on my end.

More like Japanese isp infrastructure is better.



This issue isn't the servers. This is NA ISPs. And good luck getting them to fix anything.

It is not only NA Servers, I have extreme Lag on Twintania too, sometimes I play in slow motion. This is since 2 weeks so.

Oh, hey, this was the same issue that plagued Comcast and Charter Spectrum users in the past.

We used to blame it from DDoS protections tuned too high, such that it would throttle XIV's traffic.

West Coast NA, frequent rubber-banding day 3. Unplayable.

The hardest part with networks and stuff like this is it could even be a single port on a node, not a node itself. This is my trace from the Seattle area. I'm not trying to say there are no issues with this, and I run through some of the same nodes people with issues have. Its just incredibly hard to pinpoint issues from our end.


Backbone switching gear can have 100+ physical ports. Not everyone will come into a node the same way. That's also why issues can return. Its not necessarily something that works or doesn't. A card can fail. An SFP can fail. a cable can go bad. There's so many possible problems that can recur. One getting fixed doesn't mean it won't return, or a different problem won't come up.
