Thanks for this. Got RCN too and am having the same lag spikes/R0 problems. It didn't seem like it was a problem with the ISP based on what we've gathered, and good to see some confirmation. Hopefully SE gets on the problem soon. Playing using a VPN really sucks. =D

A mod closed the other threads and said the issue was being looked into, so things are at least looking up from a few days ago.
