Ping problem (only in OW)

I’ve gone from getting 60ms average (which is just my internet) to a constant 140+ . It’s been the same for the past few days, but every other game is just fine. My internet connection sucks with only OW, any way I could fix that?

Hey Reifos,

It looks like you’re using Frontier internet, so you are most likely experiencing the same issue that is mentioned in this thread:

[Mar 8] East Coast Frontier - Increased Latency

At the moment the only workaround would be to use a different connection, or like a mobile hotspot or VPN, which may get your latency back down. We are still investigating the cause and will update that thread when we know more.

Edit: Locking thread - let’s keep all the reports centralized in that thread so we can keep you all updated in one place. Thanks! :smiley:

The latency is high, because as mentioned in that thread, there seems to be some kind of issue between Blizzard and Level 3(Centurylink) starting a few days ago, which is affecting Frontier customers as a result. Blizzard is routing our return path(them to us) traffic to Paris, France, where it is then handed off finally to Level 3, who then brings it back to the US.
