I'm with BT

From NA here and I had spikey lag on Tuesday as well. Rather than 5-10 seconds though it was more like 3-5.

Yeah I'm with Sky. Had them on the phone last night testing the line but ill phone them again today.

Zlatan are you on Verizon? Apparently they're having problems too.

Well it seems like there are a lot of people with different ISP's are experiencing this type of spikey lag which renders some instances unplayable. I too was testing the ping and checking my ISP etc etc and nothing has changed on my end so it has to be something SE has done. I don't mind a little bit of delay but the game freezing for 3-5 seconds every other minuet is just getting frustrating.

I do hope SE realise how badly this is affecting a lot of people's ability to play and are looking into a fix.

So we can assume it's mainly a Sky/BT problem? Could it be some kind of throttle? My boyfriend only downloaded a 30GB worth of Elder Scrolls beta recently, but could we still be capped by the ISP?

seems that there are some DNS servers SUCK...

In canada here, we have some of the worst internet in the world D:

Hi,

Just want to add to this,

I did instances on sunday and everything was fine.

On tuesday onwards i been getting lag spikes in every instances; I can no longer do any dodge mechanics

I am also from the UK and using Sky.

BT and Sky both use the same lines and are having problems at the minute and have been since Monday. Hang tight.

They should package this game with a year long subscription to battleping.

Yesterday, in titan, I was worried because I hit a lag spike right before we started. All of the protect buffs spawned at once instead of staggered and I got like 8 seconds of scrolling chat all at once. But... after that the fight was fine.

Like mentioned earlier, verizon fios users in the states have experienced widespread lag and rubberbanding since the hotfix to update 2.1. Bummer :x
