I normally get about 30 ping in other games on west coast servers, but on overwatch, I average about 100 ping and whenever I ask teammates they tell me they are east coast. This lag spikes up to 300 sometimes and is unplayable, here is my WinTMR results in a Pastebin: |------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Pastebin.com
Hey there,
It looks like the problem is related to the peer network Sparklight is using called Telia. In this test Telia owns the nodes labeled twelve99. The latency is already average of 65 ms before they transfer the data to our peer Equinix in Los Angeles where it bumps up to 92 ms. The data is then rerouted over to Equinix Chicago for some reason.
This is displayed here:

| ae1-br02-eqla1.as57976.net - 0 | 85 | 85 | 77 | 92 | 178 | 85 |
| et-0-0-1-pe02-eqch2.as57976.net - 0 | 85 | 85 | 78 | 86 | 137 | 85 |
The best thing to do would be to report the issue to the internet service provider. They can escalate a case internally to their network engineers so they can discuss routing with Telia who is their peer network. A VPN may also work but that is more of a way around the problem than an actual fix.
I hope the info helps. Cheers!
THANK YOU, ive been thinking about getting a vpn and i will try to contact the service provider.
