What is the deal with the random patches of lag today.

Before you say it.

No i dont have viruses
My internet still runs fine and i am pulling 10Mbit download speeds constantly.

GW just lags and freezes every couple of minutes then poof back to normal.

I have looked and no background tasks or internet access is happening.

Is anyone else getting this crap.

I'm also experiencing a slightly higher ping than normal, and people in my alliance have been complaining about it a bit this morning.

I'm wondering if this has something to do with the upcoming weekend event.

I'm playing right now with no lag or anything. Maybe it has to do with location. There was a thread in Q&A about bad lag and it seemed to be in Europe.

I've been tons of spikes since I've started today about an hour ago, and then I keep getting disconnected about ever 10 minutes. Hopefully this will be fixed by the weekend.

I'm in the US, Midwest and I have had no problems. Maybe if everyone started posting regions we could see a trend?

It's a good thing we dont have a monthly fee, if this is expected.

Oh and LOL at the launching GW2. I pee'd a little in my pants.

I'm in the Southeastern US and I'm lagging bad. A member in my guild from the UK area was lagging bad. Several US members from my alliance was lagging or unable to connect. It seems to be wide spread and random.

Perhaps the ice storm in the Southern US has taken down some transmission lines forcing rerouting to occur? Just a thought.

Here are some new tools Google is trying out. They can test your ISP and network connections. They are new and just being posted on internet news, so they may be overloaded right now.

Been seeing spikes since Saturday, mostly in the afternoon-night times. Early mornings when testing before work, 7am EST, its appeared normal. After work however, 5:30EST and onward is almost deadly. Easily stuck, then bam, normal for anywhere from 10 seconds to 5 minutes. I thought it was just me, or my internet having issues. But apparently its not just me.
