Any word on what is causing a handful of us to lag?

7 days left on my subscription and it looks like it may be it for me. I am not going to pay for a game that I can't play, has technical support that is of no use, and doesn't even mention that there is an issue. In 15 years of online gaming I have never had to call my ISP and tell them I need a new route... that is not acceptable... period.

EDIT: I just spent 2+ hours playing rocket league and streaming netflix on my laptop. During that time I ran into one person who had a better connection than me.

In 15 years of online gaming I have never had to call my ISP and tell them I need a new route... that is not acceptable... period.

And in 10 Years as in ISP NOC, i always laughed my head off when online gamers demanded to switch routes, as if it is like changing to the other side of the street.

I am on the lucky side here, for me, the server transfer was just a benefit. But in summer, you really saw that pike in traffic that just blew our peerings. and it was not like "hey, lets plug in some more fibers" or "lets just take another route".

It was a month long project spending several million dollars for brand new hardware on the exchanges.
Inbetween, we upgraded our google cache, which made a big deal. Funny enough "streaming netflix" is one of the main reasons most networks nowadays suffer severe congestions in primetime.

I especially don´t get it when people play AND watch netflix, as if you could pay attention to both... scientifically, you cant.

Still, you should issue Tickets to your ISP to keep some pressure up and point out the problem, as well as post in SquareEnix Threads so the topic comes from more sides than just the customers. but don´t expect a solution over night.

FunFact for the end: Never Raid on a day, where apple makes a Keynote, you wont like the Internet in that time...
