Bad lag again with NTT's NA server network

[Toutatis]

Using Windows Command Prompt to ping Aether it's giving me 380+ms with a 25% drop rate usually. Never had any problems until today about 5 hours ago. Incredibly annoying and makes the game unplayable, hope this is resolved ASAP.

I am in Eastern Canada with a Canadian ISP and that's what I am getting on all North American servers too: 350+ ms ping with 50% packet loss on Aether and 25% on Excalibur. This has been happening regularly since about a month. In the meantime I tested on European server Chaos and am getting 100ms.

Edit: tried with two ISPs at 2 homes, Bell and Videotron, same bs.

I'm in NYC with Verizon Fios. On Thursday night during raid, I started getting 300+ ms ping, up from my usual of around 76ms, making it unplayable. It would stabilize itself sometimes, then jump again. Friday was fine. Now today its acting up again, with my current average ping being over 330ms. It seems to be just like the issue affecting AT&T customers some time ago, and I don't really know what to do or if this issue is going to get resolved, or if I should just resort to a VPN. I've never had problems like this with Verizon before and its incredibly annoying because just when I think its stabilized it jumps again.

Ottawa, Ontario. Rogers ISP. Lag so bad I can activate Quickcast and have the effect only apply halfway through my next cast. I have to click an item on a gathering node multiple times in order to get it to actually gather.

Unplayable for me currently.

Getting this ping issue from NTT nodes on WOW internet based out of Michigan US, unplayable on anything but the simplest dungeons

Looks like NA server network is once again having problems. NTT doing it's usual and adding considerable lag.

Come on SE, add in cross-region DC travel already so we can bail out when these problems out and come back when it's fixed.

Well, I did notice a poor connection on Primal. but I have not to sever lagged yet. kind of sucks that this isn't fixed =/

It really does seem like every time one region sees improvement the issues start up in another! But I’m still seeing it, and it’s going on the 3rd week in a row now. There are very brief periods when the lag is minimal, but otherwise it’s near constant and it doesn’t seem to matter what time of day I’m on.

I just keep sending them traceroutes… how could they tell the other poster that they’ve had no reports! It’s not our ISP, it’s theirs! Just really upsetting because this is my main game and trying to do any actual content is near impossible.

Yo, I'm in Ottawa too, with Bell however. Same poor connection, terrible lag, experiencing pretty much full packet loss after pinging Crystal server.

Eastern North Carolina, tried with Verizon FIOS and two seperate Centurylink ISP connections.
It's all over the place on all NA datacenters, ping will constantly go from ~150ms up to ~2000ms, it's never been this bad before. Has only been like this since last server maintenance.

Upstate South Carolina with Comporium & still seeing periodic packets just fall off the face of the earth starting at the NTT nodes in Ashburn, Virginia. Occasionally the drops occur a bit later into the line, but 99% of the time its on the first NTT node in the batch (Ashburn).
