- Name of ISP : DirecPath (shows up as Biltmore Communications on tests) http://www.direcpath.com/
- Country of Residence: USA
- When does the problem occur (always, only during specific times?): Specific times, usually during NA prime time and also during high volume play times. My wife and I both play and get disconnections, 90k errors, and constant unplayable lag.
- Reference number from your ISP, if you raised this matter with them: N/A, I called them but they insist they do not throttle the connection. They are not a 'free market' provider, so I wouldn't be surprised if they're lying--we've had major issues with them for years but cannot change due to association contracts.

More info for Verizon FiOS users in Northern VA. It's not throttling. It directly related to the tinet-gw.customer.alter.net (152.179.50.30 in my tracert) router. I've done some research and FiOS users have been reporting issues with traffic directed through that router since January, at least. This router is in Ashburn, VA, and is controlled by Verizon Business, formerly Alter.net.

A quote from the info I've found:
"These traceroutes were done from different locations to kinda pinpoint the issue, but you can clearly see that as long as it doesn't touch the tinet-gw.customer.alter.net router there is no latency present."
