Unbearable server lag since yesterday

[MadCabbit]

I've also been having these issues using Xfinity.

Trace complete.

The packet loss starts off at the last hop on Xfinity's network, that hop resolves as be-2211-pe11.350ecermak.il.ibone.comcast.net when I get a response to it.

Has anyone on this thread opened any sort of tech support item with either SE or Comcast? I'm just curious how something like this would get resolved, from a business standpoint.
What would you even DO with Comcast? Call them and say I'm having packets dropped from this hop on my trace?
Does SE even know there's a big issue with one of North America's largest ISPs?

[nightelfcrawler]

I called Comcast. It was, as expected, a challenge to get the point across and try to convince them it wasn't an issue with my hardware or local area.

They finally escalated the ticket up to their higher support tier who can look at a national / regional issue and see if there's any over-arching problems on their side.

Not sure if/when I'll hear back from them but I'll keep this thread updated on the status as I get it.

I haven't opened anything with SE yet so if someone else wants to go that route?

(still having bad lag of this morning too so it's not gone away)

[Bryan_Carthell]

I've been dealing with lag spikes for a few days.

Players and mobs "lunging" forward, missed AoE cues, missed timers

I was doing the solo fight in Bozja and everything froze for almost 30 seconds. I thought I was going to be DCed for sure.

I live on the east coast and my friend in the west and we've both been experiencing lag spikes, thought we don't have any technical issues with Skype. I swear this starts happening in the days leading up to a patch.

We both have Comcast, so I'm willing to believe its them as well.

[Algren117]

Still suffering here, last 3 days, game is nigh unplayable, based in Denmark, EU Chaos - Cerberus.

Raised a ticket this morning with SE, no reply as of yet.

This is more than just a Comcast issue I'm guessing as we don't have that here, no official replies on this issue anywhere?

[TattersailNightwish]

.. I swear this starts happening in the days leading up to a patch...

.

Yes! I've noticed this too.

[StellaBright]

yeah happens to me too

i really hope this can be sorted, seems to get better at night it started happening 2 days ago or so.
For anyone looking for a temporary fix i used Exitlag to remove my latency since it can reroute me through another hub which doesn't give me high ms.

[Coletergeist]

Like I even went through the process of getting a new router and upgraded my plan with comcast; even now it still doesn't work and it's not an issue that lies with my computer either. Day like, 4 or 5 of this happening to me to the point I can hardly even do dungeons without the pokeball appearing next to my name.

[DeerpyHooves]

Strap in, because it seems this kind of issue either lasts a day, or months.

[Remarus]

Also chiming in, half my static last night was having the issue, all of us doing so were on Comcast/Xfinity. Everyone else was fine.
