Thanks for this! RCN in Chicago and the last few days have been brutal... On the plus side I've been able to gather a lot since it's about the only thing I can do...

This is great news.

Anyways from this it seems that we just have to wait for RCN to change it?
A little strange that this is happening now though and not before. Maybe Square enabled some kind of system to help with the lag and the ISPs are tagging it.

Thank you for the update on RCN!

Thanks for letting us know. In the meantime I am using the VPN gate work around until RCN can resolve it.

I've tried using a VPN to get around it, but no luck. I use Open VPN.

I only used that VPN Gate referred by the folks on this forum. Had to go through 3 servers before I found one that works.

But does this alleviate the issue?

But does this alleviate the issue?

It does for me. It adds some latency but nothing like the lag I went through in the 2nd to last main scenario instance last night. I wouldn't even consider trying the last instance with my FC due to the lag. I don't consider this a true fix, but it is playable for now.

RCN is the best service I've ever had. I'm in DC and it was an easy choice between them and Comcast.

Thanks for the post. Happy to hear they're aware.
