do you have verizon fios?
I was at 25 ping all week, even though someone in my lance was crashing or losing connectiong like every couple games. But now I'm back to 100-135 ping!!! totally frustrating and mind boggling. I have called verizon many times, written emails to the admin of the hop along my route that starts to go bad. I don't know what else to do except harass verizon some more?
I go to speedtest.net and test between 20-50 ping to any montreal or toronto server. So It seems to be an issue just routing to the game server for some mysterious reason. I can't imagine there being too many MWO players, imo there is not enough. Verizon tells me either PGI isn't allocated enough bandwidth, or that circuit that connects me to internap needs to be upgraded. But its out of their hands.
I'm assuming its a load issue, it is saturday, and maybe everybody went back to school after the holidays all week so my ping went back to normal, and now the route to the game is overloaded again I guess? The thing is there is no way to determine whose fault it is, is it verizons reponsiblity, is it PGI's ISP?
This was a problem back in January though, and many verizon users and europeans were posting back then too, I don't see any of those verizon guys online, I tried to friend them all in hopes to contact them so we can all pressure verizon together, but I don't think they even play the game anymore... When your used to amazing ping you get spoiled. and 100 ping is just too garbage to settle for I guess.
