host 129.250.0.26
26.0.250.129.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer a00.tokyjp03.jp.bb.gin.ntt. net.

This is where we are hearing the prefix. It seems this will be an issue on the destination as they could influence
their traffic via AS174 who they have an uplink to and have traffic changed. As the middle man in this, there is
little we can control.

is what i got from it from them

I’m having the same issue beginning yesterday, central US player getting connected to SA servers. I’ve never had this happen in the 2 1/2 years I’ve played Overwatch. Anything else we can try other than rebooting router and sharing our WinMTR results?
I am also get high ping (140+) to central US servers in HOTS , I’m not sure if that tells me anything but thought I would mention it just in case.

I’m in central US as well. Same issue. Routing me through japan for some reason, which is causing the high latency

24

Is anyone going to do something about this? Can we get an actual answer here? After all we are costumers.

The staff is monitoring and responding to the thread I pointed to above.

26

Yeah… But they are not.

They have updated with what they know. The current lack of updates suggests there is nothing to report at this time. If you need a response from the staff directly, you’ll have to open a ticket on your behalf.
