    I have a solution. Temporary, or permanent, depending on your personal opinion.

    I am on TWC in San Diego and have recently been experiencing the problems you have been talking about. It was never good, but used to be playable with a constant ping of ~100.

    I am trying the 30 day free trial of WTFast, it puts you on their VPN to optimize your route and also does the same stuff Leatrix does (make you computer transmit packets as soon as it has them instead of waiting for a big packet to send.)

    I recently started getting higher average ping at 150ms with huge spikes and rubberbanding of up to 3-4 seconds. Now I have a consistent 12-14 ms ping with the rare spike up to ~80 ms.

    I know you shouldn't have to do this, TWC should just undo whatever they did recently to make the game so unplayable, but at least the trial is free and it gives you 30 days to play white TWC, hopefully, gets their shit together. After that, decide if you want the added cost to continue or maybe quit the game. I haven't decided what I'll do when the trial is over yet, but it is definitely unplayable for me without WTFast.

    I downloaded WTFast. Any suggestions on the proper setting if I live in Los Angeles?

    In WTF, click on the Manage Settings buttons and enabled chained servers. For the servers, select the Los Angeles (Choose Best) for server #1 and then Toronto ON1 for server #2.

    wow i am using WTFast as i am typing and i can say this worked for me. the lag spikes are completely gone. i will use this service for the time being at least until SE does something about it. the lag didn't exist before the patch they implemented about 3 weeks ago.

    I use TWC in NC.
