Tracing the route from you to Anets servers would be a start to see where the problem is occurring.

I'm getting it too. I'd just blame my IP because of the snow we're getting, but it was happening hours before snow started falling. :|

I'm getting terrible lag too. Had 10 minutes of straight lag before I just gave up on playing.

Yeah I had a constant 5k+ ping in RA. Played a few matches before quitting in frustration.

I have it too, which really sucks walking around in 100 ping to be spiked to 10,000 ping.

At least now LOST is on.

My ping is surprsinginly good at the moment. Hovering right around 200ms.

Same prob for me, spiked to 7k ping numerous times and 3 error 7's just trying to zone, which is more err 7's than I had all last year!

it has to be the weather, anyone else get to -30 yesterday?

windchill was -20 here last night...pretty damn cold.

on topic: no the weather has not affected my connection. 150-200 as usual

yeah thought something was going on.....been like this since about 3pm or so, got better after 9pm, then started up again not too long ago.
my average pings have been between 2k and 5k....makes for a very interesting game

My Dad is in WI and he was getting 2000+ms lag all evening. Must be the super cold slowing down the electrons in the cable.

For the many foriegners in here, is that WIsconsin? I did a double-take, thinking "wow, it gets cold in the West Indies?"

yah west indies.....yes WI is the 2 letter state code for wisconsin....just north of IL or Illinois

and yes we have been having problems AGAIN today....fixed yeah right and I am the president of the usa.
