Can't access "Contact Support" or "Shop"

I have had this issue for 1-2 weeks, tried 2 routers with power cycling, speed tests came out fine, did all the thigns gms said back and forth over and over until they sent me here
location: waxahachie texas
game: world of warcraft
not sure how to attach my pathping or traceart here but its in my tickets

~also feeling the frustration of paying 2 people for a service I can not use

Sounds like you’ll be someone that falls into the Dallas connection issue that’s been ongoing.

They’ve been collecting data there from those affected.

I contacted support 2 weeks ago (weekend between Black Friday and Cyber Monday) and, after doing the traceroute, had a suspicion it was Level 3 in Dallas that was the issue. The GM also suspected it and this thread is definitely confirmation. I don’t think I can access any us.battle.net page except through VPN at the moment.

It’s a bit frustrating that Level 3 is taking so long to fix their issue. I guess it’s good timing that I’m burned out from WoW, and playing other games in the meantime, if this is also affecting pings in-game (at the time of my first ticket, that wasn’t the case).

PS: This new forum setup is a downgrade. :expressionless:

I am in Missouri using Fidelity communications. Having same problem, as anything battle.net seems to be a no-go. Other network suggestion (mobile data) works.  This has been an issue for several weeks.

Since hyperlinks cant be added, I removed all the periods and replaced them with “(dot)”

So Im using a free VPN and the problem is fixed. Didn’t think it would be that easy but I still would like to be on my normal isp address. Any idea what is causing this mess?

Hey all,

We tweaked some things about a half an hour ago now which should have fixed things. If you continue to have problems, can you post in the main thread on this - it’ll help us find any further issues.
