Hasn't like every ISP been entered here already.

This thread is nearly two weeks old, 83 pages long and as far as I know, there's been no further update from the developers. Is this how SE communicates?

Always the lag. I thought it was in high populated areas like Coerthas, but no it's everywhere.


I've canceled my 6-mo plan before you draw it on the 17th. I can't play. You don't get my money.

Come on SE, All we want is a "we are looking into it or we have confirmed the issue"

Always occurs for me. Anytime of the day, AM and PM. Happens every other 10 seconds.

I usually have great ping in other games I play, but this is just terrible. I want to play a healer but I cant heal in dungeons or fates because I'm lagging every other second. Sometimes it is a long lag spike lasting 20 seconds-30 seconds as well. From all these pages I see a lot of players in my state are having this problem as well, but honestly something needs to be done about it. I tried playing on different servers and it happens to me on every single one.

I think the best course of action is to identify the OFFENDING ISPS, and give them one last chance. SE Should send a letter and an email to corporate offices, explaining what they're doing and offer them a chance to desist. Then;

If they do not comply and unthrottle the connection, run a detection on the SE launcher, flashing a warning that "game performance may be compromised due to your ISP's policies. Here is a list of alternative ISPs in your region which recognize our service as a game and are less likely to cause undesirable play experiences."

Watch the CEO's literally LEAP OUT OF THEIR SEATS and fire the idiot who decided to throttle the game and do nothing.
