I started getting massive latency as of Friday 12/30. Anyone else experiencing this or have any suggestions? Were there any updates recently that may have caused this?
I’ve not had a continuous issue with latency like this with this computer ever or in Dragonflight since launch. DF has run very smoothly for me until now. It’s really bad in Valdrakken or when I’m tyring to key farm in Dragonbane keep in large groups.
Thanks
Just experienced 1kms world ping (26ms home) Saturday 12.31.2022 and it’s still ongoing today 1.1.2023. I’m from California and it’s been very rainy/flood so idk if it’s because of my ISP (xfinity/comcast)
I have xfinity, as well. We experienced a total outage on 12/24, but it was restored and working as usual for the next 6 days.
I’m out of the Azusa/Glendora/Covina area and I use Spectrum. It’s horrible here. For almost 2 days I have not been able to stay logged in. BLZ51901016 error codes and similar. I can log in, I get on and within 2 minutes I’m booted. I was lucky enough to stay logged in for 15 straight mins at one point before being booted again. Spectrum is the only provider this has ever happened to me with. Ofc I am from the East Coast and been here for about 2 years. You guys in South Cali can’t stand up to basic tiny winds or rain before the whole system collapses. I watch people’s roofs falling apart over a little gust here. Idk what it is but it drives me nuts.
Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, I hear nothing but horrible things about Spectrum : (
ping feels better now, 28ms home (california) 28ms world. no one ran in place yet so that’s good
Well, you heard it here first. I have Spectrum and I get a solid 9ms - 15ms when playing WoW, 350 megabit throughput even during “peak” times, and not a single disconnect this xpac. Plus I do other stuff while playing (4k YouTube on another monitor, torrents, etc.)
And I live maybe 20 miles from the person who lives near Azusa.
It’s almost as if the Internet were like a giant freeway that gets jammed sometimes…?
Terrible latency as of late. Over 3k both home and world. Ran traceroute and got the dreaded * before and after BLIZZARD-EN.ear7 etc. Hopefully they’re aware of it and on top of it. I do know that quite a few people are also experiencing this issue.
Maybe you are one of the lucky few. Like many of the popular streamers and WoW gamers who have used spectrum it’s horrible for me. When I lived in Delaware I had maybe 3 days where I had latency issues with Verizon Fios and that was over the course of almost a decade. Here I get some days I cant even get online now. Almost 3 days straight. It is working alright tonight except I had 4 D/Cs here. I cannot do the streaming with other stuff with Spectrum. I could say that for Comcast and Verizon, but deffo not spectrum. Then again it seems a lot of California is not well equipped for changes in weather. What I mean to say is that they can’t take heavy winds and rain very well. There’s like no contingency plan for if that occurs. Comcast and Verizon are a different story for me. While Comcast is just middle of the road it provided leagues better service than Spectrum and Fios was the best of all 3 by a country mile. Also when I lived in both Delaware and Maryland we were far better equipped for these sorts of weather conditions. Then again we are a maritime culture as it were.
Maybe. But, I tend to think more that:
People have internet troubles all day, every day, and relatively few people are savvy when it comes to network troubleshooting. So, the easiest thing to do is blame your ISP; people rarely see the big picture and only know one thing. They get internet from XYZ provider so if something goes wrong it’s XYZ provider’s fault.
Also, and possibly worse, it’s the online hivemind of these folks that gather together and, like an old sewing circle, discuss and gossip about their problems. No one has the knowledge or motivation to refute what anyone else is saying, so everyone that’s less-informed or has no experience with the internet and how it actually works simply agrees with everyone else. So, the big names get tarnished.
I’ll tell ya, I’ve had internet access since the early nineties, and aside from a brief period with a local provider here in LA (Netcom), I’ve always gone with the “big names” and never had issues:
I’ll add that around the time I got the first DSL connection on my block (Pacific Bell years; 1994?) I got my parents to get fast internet as well. They’re literally still with the same company (as noted above, Pac Bell became SBC and then became AT&T) that they have been for 29 years and they have no issues. I mean, yeah, I’ve had to reboot their router a bunch of times over the years, but that’s par for the course.
So, yeah, maybe I’ve just been ridiculously lucky for 30 years. But also, maybe it’s just that I understand that disconnects and hiccups when using the Internet are normal, and when I get disconnected from something, I don’t search online for the most popular complaint forums and go in raging:
“SPECTRUM IS HORRIBLE ZOMG LOOK AT MY LATENCY!”
/shrug
I’ve also never had a consistent issue like this for 15+ years… but for the past 4-5 days I’ve had lag spikes that make me want to cry. Sometimes it’s a 1s delay on spellcasts, others it’s a freeze frame for 5-10s and then fast forward. My home ms sometimes goes up to 200-300, but world ms spikes 300-6000 on the worse times. Raiding is all I play for and it’s almost unbearable…
I’ve reset modem/router hundreds of times. I’ve disconnected every device and plugged directly in. I’ve had a replacement modem sent to me and installed. I’ve turned wow settings to 1. I’ve disabled every addon. I’ve deleted the WTF folder. I don’t know what else to do. ISP (ATT&T) is coming out tomorrow but I am convinced they will say “it’s a wow issue” and leave me crying. Speed tests show sometimes 300 MB/s and then sometimes 8… so I’d like to hope it’s on them, but I don’t know what else to do…
I’ll say this. I played WoW back at around the tail end of WOTLK. The last patch or so to MoP. And then I played SWTOR religiously for 6 years and also played Total War on the side. NEVER have I experienced these things until I came to spectrum. Comcast, no. Fios, NEVER. Not a single day have I had issues with Fios except when we got hit with a Category 3 hurricane. And that was because have the streets were flooded, street lights even flung and bent to the ground. Aside from that? nope, never.
So that said? I’ve been dealing with internet for a long enough time to be able to safely say that yeah, it’s spectrum. Even their techs and customer service are clueless. And there are lots of reports of it going out in LA county pretty damn often actually. I think we are the 1st or 2nd most for outages from Spectrum in the whole nation. But if you look at the map they have a lot of issues in Texas and Florida too. It’s not just me, it’s a slew of folks.
