I've seen this particular line in traceroute on UHall:

Why is it spiking all of a sudden there, when I am East Coast and used to have a ping of 9-12, which went to 17-23 when I moved further down the street.

p.s. I pinged 17 this morning before work, but that's at 4 am. Seems all during prime time, it's 120+. ><

Yeah I ping about 40 in the early morning hours too, then it goes up to 140 during prime time.

Yeah, after reading a bit more in the Tech forums or whatever, it definitely seems to be an EA issue. Seems they need to up the bandwidth for that particular server. They pay for that server, and just haven't done it yet. . .But this has been ongoing from what I read.

It kind of puts a damper on my wanting to get back into dueling until then. I'll scrub it up in the field, but last nights warm up was making me emo. Soooo slow in casting!

Ya, when i die it's usually due to lag.

Not sure if you were being sarcastic or not, but Kage and I definitely didn't die 2v3. At the same time though, they should of all dropped. No biggie though!

It is comcast they suck. I had patriot media they sold out to comcast and the service went in to the toilet. I switch to Verizon Fios and don't have any more problems.

 

[Wulf2k]

It's not comcast. It's everybody routing to the server through certain servers. Servers that are closer to EA than to the player.

 

[Spree]

I don't have any lag on Verizon. I still blame it on Comcrap.

 

[Jaimes]

I'm lagging too, google pings 47 but Siege 155, what the hell...... Seems to be an EA problem if it's just UO that's lagging.
