Nightly latency issues

[Mercutial]

PS4 user here. WTF and pingzapper not an option. I am literally three miles away from being able to change my ISP. It's Comcast or bust unfortunately.

Here's the thing... At this point, I don't care who's at fault. SE, Comcast, Level 3, the Illuminati, Lizard Men, whatever. The lag is real and because of it occurring without fail every time I generally play (M-F 7-10est... raid times), I no longer enjoy this game. Since I'm not a driveling idiot and have been conditioned since birth to put down the searing hot rock when it burns me, I don't think I'll be playing this GAME any longer. A "game" which is no longer fun and has now graduated to "chore" because of these issues.

Yeah.. I've invested almost two years into this. But there's more fish in the sea. Dark Souls 3 coming up. Tons of neglected titles due to this journey. Why the hell would I continue log in and put myself thru this nonsense?

Again... nothing personal to SE. I'm sure they understand. I know none of their employees would want to play this game under these conditions. It's not fun. And therefore, can't really be considered a game.

The only thing I would say is the following. This is par for the course with every game I have every played that has Level 3 nodes. RIFT, GW2, EQ2, WoW, the only game I don't have the issue is SWTOR but that is because I am close enough to the servers my route never needs to hop onto Level 3.

This was not the issue the reason that made me consider VPNs. I considered it because in all of these other games I had these same issues because of Level3 off and on throughout my time there. In essence my choices were "stop playing online games because Level3 could give a dang about consumers, as they only peer and have corporate clients" or "I can take the stop I can to fix the issue."
