Thread: What's causing FiOS users to get so much lag since 2.1?

Same. I also use FiOS but ever since the 2.1 patch I've been getting really nasty lag spikes. I tend to notice them happening at varying intervals but when they happen they're pretty bad. I've tried all the normal routines for a fix (resetting router, updating software, etc) though it continues to occur.

Yup tried this though I didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Trace route took 16 hops with normal ranging pings on each hop (generally less than 60ms). So no "leaks" here on my end.

Comcast, Seattle. Getting bad spikes and got kicked with lockup. Had to restore data on ps3. Tested with Netflix (I know not a game) loaded fine. Here's to hoping.

Bump...

After the update tonight I jumped on to test... All seemed well, however it was not meant to be. The lag is still there, and angrier than ever.

The issue seems to be with Level3. Large packet loss at ae11.edge2.NewYork.level3.net as well as ae-11-11.car2.montreal2.level.net typically speaking. Seems to be better 2AM-10AM EST or so but awful during normal usage time.

Before 2.1 (before the servers required us to select the corresponding data centres specifically) I was able to dodge the entirety Titan HM unscathed.... Since 2.1 "rubberbanding" has caused more than a few deaths on my part (even in lesser difficulty Dungs./Raids let alone XM) I am sad to admit. This is not an isolated incident, no matter how close to the Datacentre you are are geographically. (I myself am only 8 Hrs drive from Montreal). My hope is that many people bump this thread so we can (possibly) get a response from the Dev team.
If not, C'est la vie. Ill keep playing because love this game, I just cant stand dying to "rubberband lag".

Also using FiOS, it's been terrible since the patch (was fine before). 2-3 second lag spikes, 90000 errors where I used to never get them, teleporting players/NPCs... Can't do some of the HMs anymore at all, Titan hits with me with weights and I never even see them.

Even mining is annoying now, often I have click 2-3 times just to get a node to gather once.
