    The major problem exists between your providers and SE's provider.
    Most commonly the problem has been traced to Level 3 Communications backbone nodes.
    I connect from Sweden, and have not had any issues with lag spikes. My connection to SE also doesn't go through Level 3 nodes.


    You could always try to convince SE to move their NA datacenter elsewhere.

    You're probably right about the Level 3 node issue; most tech savvy people who discuss this in forums seem to draw the same conclusion. However, I have yet to find anyone getting a comment from SE or their ISP to confirm this. So is the problem being ignored in the hopes that it'll go away? And what are the odds that SE would actually consider moving their NA data center elsewhere?

    Spot on. A lot of people are either blaming specific ISP's or Square, or saying it's nothing to do with one or the other without really knowing what's happening. The problem is between both parties, as there are plenty of players on different ISPs that are unaffected.

    Regardless, the lack of official response to this problem is still ridiculous.
