A response needs to be demanded by everyone from SE

That's straight bullshoot. This is 100% SE. I've tested my ping and download speeds while the game was running and they are totally fine. The issue is in the way clients are routed to the server through different gateways

You clearly have no idea what this is about if you mention 'ping' times as having any relevance here, and also your quaint idea that SE's servers can control the routing your client's packets go through.

This is 100% the ISPs' fault, they're the ones screwing-over their paying customers by throttling bandwidth instead of providing the service their customers are paying for.

I'm in the UK with BT. They throttled P2P but after SE and players raised the problem they re-configured their throttling system to treat SE's server farms as games and I've player perfectly for the last four weeks on two servers many are saying are lag-fests: they're not, they're fine.

I actually talked with my ISP and they said they have done no throttling at all. How can you say ping times don't matter when that is directly what the issue is (relating to the astronomically high pings to the game server?) You can try and sound as diminutive as you want and white knight this obvious SE issue, but the fact still remains that this is not a client side problem.

My contract with BT before I renewed my contract was adamant they wasn't Throttling my connection but they was. Try the Glasnost test to be certain. Best to try from about 19:00 as It's more accurate http://broadband.mpi-sws.org/transparency/bttest.php
