Curious as to lagging and DCing at the moment...

Yesterday I had the most weird Hall of Heroes ever. We joined in UW, got 2 members disconnected, resigned after the timer started, but the other team resigned faster as they were 6/8 as well. So we got 1 fame in UW then got a halljump. Our team was 6/8, another team was 6/8, and the third team was 5/8... It was sooo gaaay... (we lost btw as we lost runners)

I'm not all that computer literate so I'm not sure this even matters but....

I read an article a few weeks ago about Comcast and others slowing down some traffic on their lines, mostly things like the peer to peer services. Although they say they don't target things specifically, I could see them targeting games and game websites.

Here's the link in case I didn't explain it well: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/timoth...t_b_70191.html

Could this possibly be a reason for lag? Could it really not be Anet's servers?

As I said I don't know much about this kind of stuff, so feel free to call me noob and tell me this doesn't relate at all.

It might be for some people, at least those who have cable internet. But I'm on dialup, and not with Comcast, so it probably doesn't affect me. Most likely, though, it is Anet's servers and it could possibly be due to the BMP. Although, I'd be left to suspect that if it was the BMP, it would lag everyone and not selected people here and there.
