Seems if i close the game and re-open it within 1-3 tries i’ll end up at my normal ping and can play there for a decent amount of time before it goes downhill again. Not a fix by any means but a temporary work around to keep the game sort of playable.
What fixed it last time? Just the tuesday reset?
There was a routing problem with Frontier, NET Virtua and Charter last time. Sadly this was out of Sasktels network so fixing things took some time.
Some folks had success using a VPN as a temporary workaround.
Sasktel here too. Unable to play game, latency at around 7500 where I usually am at 80 - 100. Was slugish since last week but really is getting unplayable since yesterday.
VPN works quite well, unfortunate to have to do but way she goes.
Hey all,
If you’re suddenly having issues again, can we get a new set of winMTRs and looking glass reports from you while you’re having problems? We also need to know how high your latency is, and if it’s spiky or consistent.
A couple players in some other threads mentioned that an alternate DNS fixed it for them. Can you try setting up an alternate DNS like cloudflare or google DNS and see if it works? You’ll need to search how to do this online - it’s a more advanced step so if you aren’t too experienced with computers you may want to avoid this step.
Having the same issues here In Saskatoon using Sasktel. Loading screens take about 2 minutes even on an SSD. When I do eventually get in, I can’t cast anything, mount up or talk to NPCs. Started happening last night after I joined a M+. Almost lost the key because of this. I’m on Illidan if it helps.

Sometimes she goes, Sometimes she doesn’t.
Another Saskatoon player with issues since Sunday, trying to connect to Terenas. Yesterday it was world server, and today home server. In game lag at around 3k ms.

Sasktel here also. Same problems also. On phone with Sasktel atm. Anyone else get their problem fixed?
Seems to be intermittent & deceptive. My latency went back to “normal” in-game. Problems re-appeared when I tried to do an Island Expedition, and I got booted from the group. Seems to also flare up when I am changing zones (boat from Zuldazar to Boralus).
Changing your DNS or using a VPN both work as a temporary fix until blizz/sasktel figure their stuff out.
Hello all the Sasktel folks! so nice to not be alone with this pain. Issue started this weekend. Definately contributed to losing out on the timer of a mythic + ![:frowning:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/frowning.png?v=6" ":frowning:")
Not computer savvy enough to try the fancy fixes, so hopefully this gets resolved soon.
#boredsaskatoongamer
I gave them a call today. They said absolutely nothing wrong on their end. I was recommended to port forward. All the info I was given.
Theres another thread about Sasktel issues as well. Looks like people are starting to call and complain.
Hey there Drakuloth. I was in contact with sasktel support last night. The issue is definitely with sasktel nodes. I was the one who suggested cloudflare DNS, and even this was not fixing it. Upon doing MTR tests there were three sasktel nodes which had large packet loss. I have a ticket in to sasktel right now. I’ll update when they get back to me.
Also side note, for those of you with access to VPNs, linking out of province will avoid the nodes causing issues. 135ms is better than 2300ms for now!
Thanks for the updates! Don’t have too much in terms of updates however this is something that we’re currently tracking. Be sure to provide the info previously requested by Drakuloth here. As with previous posts, the only workaround for the time being would be to try setting up a different DNS or using a VPN to bypass the problem nodes.
On Sasktel as well. And me and my room-mate are on the same network and are ONLY experiencing problems with WoW. Got lagged out of dungeons, couldn’t use abilities, etc.
