Argentina - Latency increased since 03-26-2019

I’m experimenting a serious increased of latency since the mentioned date. I used to have 175 ms and now it is 283, it an increase of ~62%.

I tried your solution guide:

without success.

I’m connecting from Argentina and I believe it is a routing issue, not from my side, of course. Do you think you can do something?

I’m having the same problem. I am From Argentina as well. So far every player I know from here is experiencing the same issue.

Same issue. Started roughly about the same date as well.

Here’s a traceroute and MTR from the looking glass tool

I am having same problem with that hop. High packet loss and MS. This is 5th or 6th post I have seen people winmtr and they ALL show same hop that is having issues.

The problem is going to start here:

ae10.milano58.mil.seabone.net - 0 1747 1747 275 280 590 279

This is something we’re looking into at the moment and is mainly affecting players in Argentina. We have a thread on the forums here where we’ll be providing updates as we get them. In the meantime, the main workaround we’ve seen so far is to connect through a VPN if this is an option for you.

What about xe-0-0-1-1-br01-eqpa4.as57976. net which is much worse? This hop for me is reason I’m experiencing high MS. I have seen others as well who have posted winmtr and theirs too are showing this hop here is high ms and packet loss.

That hop is generally not a concern. Both of the connections here spiking to around 2-3kms is due to mitigation/firewall. The average latency for both of these align with the rest of the test.
xe-0-0-1-1-br01-eqpa4.as57976.net - 1 1712 1704 284 299 2504 288
et-0-0-2-br01-eqch2.as57976.net - 2 1660 1643 284 317 4571 296

There is a known issue with these hops though:

ae10.milano58.mil.seabone.net - 0 1747 1747 275 280 590 279
blizzard.milano58.mil.seabone.net - 0 1747 1747 266 273 583 274

It’s stating its routing to Milan, Italy which is why the latency increases from around 17ms to 200ms. We have made some recent changes though today. Could you try checking the game again and see if the latency is back to normal?

Hi thanks for looking into it. I just ran a winMTR and im still going though milano and still at 280

Thanks for the response, Hananpacha! We’re getting this added to our list so we can forward this to our team :slight_smile:

Zhyxen i’m sure you can recall cause its your job, but every single time blizzard had problems with Argentina/brasil/chile and other LAS seabone was the main issue. Every single time. It would be wise to try and have a permanent solution with seabone once and for all.

Thx in advance

Same exact problem - Arnet ISP same 175ms and now 283, 175 is bearable, 283 its imposible worse if you like to rank bg or do raids.

I can play other games and everything runs smooth by my side. Just wow with high ms.

Please speak with seabone once and for all.

I was ok for a few days now last night and today it is back. Even a VPN is not working. This is while playing.

Hello, =) im using this reply to let you guys know that this problem returned on this tuesday reset. i reported it in this thread:

https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/high-latency-bad-hop-to-us-central/214696/7

Im linking this in order to get your attention on the issue.
This time it seems to be hoping to Spain, then Japan then Argentina.

We’re on it. This is an old thread, so I’m going to lock it up!
