- A few of us have been chatting on the SKY forums and a SKY rep finally confirmed the problem is with Level 3 in Montreal.
- Left posting until now as I was getting by using WTFast but now even with a GPN, today in particular; I was getting horrible lag all over the world map. Didn't matter if I had the GPN running or not it was exactly the same.

2 of my friends on Plusnet who also route via Level3 and they have no problem. Glad I switch over from sky to Virgin yesterday.

Edit: also the problem should of been fix for sky user on 22th jan posted and confirmed by a few sky user on their forum who play this game.

- basically since 2.1 I've been rubber banding constantly it appears worse during prime time but I also think it may just be anecdotal.

First time player, really enjoying the game, but these lag spikes are killin it.

- USA North Caroline
- Like above me after 6pm till very late, everyday

problem started a week ago, and lag spikes were minimal, around 1-2 seconds long,I din't pay much attention to it since I was hoping the maintenance was gonna fix it, but now I suffer 3-10 seconds long spikes, the lag is way too intensive and is destroying my experiense, do something already.

Since 13 Feb 2013, I have been plagued by SEVERE LAG and REPEATED connection lost (Error 9000).

- Roadrunner (Brighthouse Networks)
- United States
- Since 13 Feb 2013, ALWAYS!!!
- ISP Reference Number: Well, here is a summary of my trouble call.
-- My router/modem was set to DEFAULT scan for channels.
-- Apparently, my neighbors router/modems where interfering with my device. (Using same channels.)
-- So the technician changed my channel to one not in the default scan mode.

ADDENDUM: Something else the Technician had me do.
- I use a Wi-Fi connection on my PC.
- He had me power down my PC and remove and reseat my USB Ethernet Adapter.
- That definitely cleared up my connection issues.
- Apparently, when Windows Update does it automatic pushes; sometimes it can screw up the drivers for a USB Ethernet Adapter. Reseating the device will make Windows reload the drivers.

Another option he suggested, go WIRED instead of WIRELESS.
