misterdapi - Arm chair diagnostic? LOL! I like how you weep for this country's future based on my arm chair diagnostic. If that's what it takes for you to weep then I really don't know what else to say. For your information, I've done these traces and looked up the owners of each one of these routers along with contacting the ISP's in question, but hey, I guess you already knew all that, right? My solution that works for me is to stop paying for a product that no longer brings me the enjoyment that it should. I don't want to spend any more time trying to TS a problem that I am not responsible for. I know which battle to fight and which battle to walk away from, and this is a battle I'd rather not fight because it's a freaking game! I applaud your tenacity in trying to get this problem resolved, but there's no need to be rude just because I don't agree with you. The fact of the matter is that MMO's modeled this way will ALWAYS have this problem as long as there are different ISP's with different rule sets, and ISP's are not going to change the way the operate because of a bunch of gamers playing 1 game. Don't get me wrong, some will, but some won't. So until we have some regulations and standards in place, good luck with getting this resolved. Also, as a major gaming company, SE should have planned it better and realize that the U.S. is quite large and having a SINGLE data center in Eastern Canada may not cut it.

Anyhow, I am letting my money do the speaking so SE won't be getting their monthly fee from me along with some constructive criticism with it. Good luck with this issue fellas.
