I live in California and I've been experiencing perpetual rubber-banding since the previous maintenance a could of days ago. At first I thought it was my settings, so I lowered everything to as much as possible, but there was no change in performance. There wasn't any change in performance when I turned off background running programs save my anti-virus and anti-malware programs. So I'm not even running Steam, the Battle.net launcher, not even Trillian.

I ran a tracert and here are my results:
