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

Such a relief that I'm not the only one ;-;

But everyone in my FC runs something different, so I'm the only one lagging. Not to mention in the WHM for our coil... The lag gets tanks killed in T4 sometimes v

Same here....fios high speed (100 down 50 up I think), and the bad rubber banding lag since 2.1.....please fix SE!

Why are you asking se to fix? We all have come to the conclusion that the ips that use level 3's router is where the issue is stemming from. Did you even read the comments b4 you posted?

I have a lot of problems with lag since 2.1 and I am a fios user.

I got a battleping account which helps me a ton. I stopped lagging completely.

Indeed. SE CAN talk to Level3, but it's still all up to Level3 to fix the problem. And honestly, if SE knows about this particular router, they likely have already talked to Level3.

This is why I tell people that it may not be SE, but that doesn't mean it's them either. In this case it's in between. SE can't just go out and replace the router or fix it.

It's not Level3's problem here as I am being routed through Congentco.


EDIT: PS, the server is fine in the mornings and after maintenance when they're half empty. (Gilgamesh)

The point is the same, it's not the servers themselves so much as a connection between some people and the servers. Even if it's the ISP SE uses, they can still only talk to them, they can't force them to fix it outside of switching everything to another ISP... if there even is one.

The lag you guys are seing is not the fault of SE but rather the way that Verizon routs the packets from your PC to the SE data centers. They chose the shortest path which most of the time during peek hours get very congested causing the lag spikes you all are seeing.

The best solution is to get some kind of a VPN router so that your packets are instead sent through a different path (slightly longer but less congested) something like pingzapper or wtfast would work. Both services have trial periouds. I would seriously give them a try untill verizon decides to fix their packet routing problem. Also if you plan to do Titan extreme during peak hours those VPN routing services are a must for verizon users.

I have Time Warner and since 2.1 the lag has been horrible for me. I can't even do titan HM. I tried wtfast but it didn't really make a difference.
