Cognetco, AND TATA have been confirmed to be part of this issue.

Steadily increasing lag since 2.05 (when they added server capacity for AK), I can no longer raid Coil. Running out of trade skills and sub time...

It is really surprising to me how many gamers/general computer users have no idea how the internet works. Y'all just assume it is either the source or the destination is the problem.

Just because you get good routes/latency to blizzard does not have anything to do with SE.

The data is traveling on two different highways to different destinations. You can not assume that because you are driving on I-20 with no traffic to blizzard, that there is no traffic on I-35 to SE.

AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE STOP TELLING PEOPLE TO TERMINATE UNNECESSARY PROGRAMS. LOL
Anyone who needs to be told that bloatware may be the cause, does not know what they are doing. Furthermore, if its a problem for you, you should not be giving advice.

And as we can see... no reply for us! square never will reply thoses threads about LAGS. be careful square.. you will lose more players if this continue... at least reply to us about this issue! we PAY to play this game!( but how we can play?)

Regardless of the reason I can't play, so if SE can't apply some pressure somewhere then shrug. I know I'm not alone. But yeah I agree with the 'turn ur video settings down' thing, too many exparts!

Iloce pretty much summed it up rather well a few posts up. Basically, you are taking different paths to get to each of those. Especially since you are going to different countries for some of them, you are taking a completely different corridor all together at times, so your route may change right away just two hops away from your modem.

Ever take the long way around town to get somewhere because you knew you were going to get held up in traffic if you tried to go straight through town, causing your trip to be longer then taking the outer loop?

Same principle applies here... or at least it needs to. It may be far better to deal with an extra 30-40ms latency to have it be consistent then the frustrating up and down rubberband effect that a lot of people are having---or worse, the stop and go redlight/greenlight crap. Unfortunately, we are having a hard time convincing the ISP's to either fix the stoplights, or draw a new route around the traffic jams.

SE or my own ISP fault, it doesn't matter. Any dungeon is pretty much unplayable right now with the frequency and sometimes lengthy lag spikes I get. I can't even mine properly. Won't be re-subbing if this keeps up.

I was tempted to server transfer hoping my lag issues my go away. But i cancelled my sub instead. I've wasted so much time in this game because of lag ruining events. Let alone all the time i waste waiting for the duty finder. IMO this game needs a lot of attention fixes, right now its not worth my money. Maybe one day i will come back only if i begin to see changes in what the paying players ask of SE.
