Bad lag again with NTT's NA server network

If only there was a way to summon a CM in here to take a glance...

Given that not even a moderator has popped in to say anything I don't think they want to touch this...

Updated my post with more working PIA (Private Internet Access) VPN nodes. It seems most nodes around Chicago and including Chicago get around this. Also Silicon Valley for western people and Honolulu if you're a lucky person that lives there.

Because this is a VPN, some of these IPs are dirty thus making Google.com make you complete a CAPTCHA in order to use their search. Last night I was using the Michigan node and found imgur.com has it banned.

Much appreciated, Krojack.

A thought came to me.
Would using my gateway's firewall to filter out the faulty node would be of any help in this situation?
Or would the routes it would take be too far off the beaten path to make a difference?

The only problem I can think of with this is that you'd just run into another faulty node. From what I can tell, there are at least two faulty nodes at play here that are causing these issues. If you can figure it out and provide a list of the faulty nodes I'd appreciate it for sure. I have raid again tonight and it looks like I'm going to be benched again because of this issue.

I think your recent traceroute can yield answers.
If you can try to filter out hops 10, 11, and 12 by entering the IP Addresses at the end of each line, see where that takes you.
But please make sure it doesn't aversely affect any other Internet sites/services you use.

Does anyone have a good connection with no lag right now so I can try entering some NTT.net nodes into my router to see if I can get a more stable connection?

This is what I can share from a friend without the issue. Canada.

This unfortunately has not offered up any results for me so far. It's like there are pre-defined routes that I cannot bypass in the internet. It doesn't matter how much I try to hit the 129.250.8.61 node at ntt.net, I cannot get my internet to cooperate.

I'm using a Linksys WRT3200ACM router if anyone has any ideas.
