My usual DSL route from Atlanta to Montreal is down and for the first time I'm being routed through Level 3. Halone's frozen bits, this lag is awful. I ran a tracert and while I know you have to take the response pings from that with a grain of salt, this is what I'm currently seeing:
This is not a Square Enix problem. This is a problem between our ISPs and Level 3.Quote:

Does anyone know of any action that we can collectively take to get our ISPs to force Level 3 to get their poop together? Like, a coordinated email blitz attack or something? :/ Everyone call and whine about Level 3 to Comcast and AT&T on the same day?
What can we do about Level 3?
