Problems with connection (R0) lag

[Willowblade]

another sky user, have notice an issue at the start of the week where is looks like players in citys and dungeons start running stop the start again. this is worse in dungeons.

Also on Sky, Tuesday seemed to be the day when it started for me. Ultima HM was a horrible mess with the ~3 second lag spikes.

Dear SE, please can you aknowledge that you are aware of this issue and are looking into a fix? It is affecting a lot of people who are unable to enjoy the game because the lag spikes are happening a lot and. It is affecting people with different ISP's and locations so it must be something that was changed server side.

Location: Sweden
ISP: Bahnhof
Server: Excalibur

Never had problems with lag until 2.1 was released.
Ever since the patch I have lag spikes every 3 seconds or so.

I've contacted Sky twice today querying things and they do say that they don't block anything and everything else connects fine(web browsing etc.). It's just this rubber-banding during play it must be these data centers, I connect to NA data center from the UK - (184.107.107.176). I noticed when doing multiple ping tests via my Sky HUBs IP address page that occasionally there's packet loss to the NA data center IP, but that should be obvious with this rubber-banding going on!

Done this a few times in command prompt this is just a snip from it:

I'm also from the UK using Sky internet, I was having problems especially on Tuesday, Titan was unplayable.

SOLUTION: unfortunately was to use Pingzapper, this sorted the problem for me right away, was perfect after. You can try it for free for one hour at a time before it disconnects you, it is only something like £3 a month without contract but it is defiantly worth it as this problem seems similar to the FiOS routing problems the Americans are having, my FC friend using FiOS also downloaded and started to use Pingzapper and it sorted his problems out too.

quoted from the other thread on this to try help people in the UK using Sky/BT.

Still having the problem, even after the maint.
