Packet Loss

Good Afternoon,

as of the last week or so i’ve detected a significant amount of packet loss while playing world of warcraft and it is rendering teh game non-playable as I disconnect frequently in group environments - i’ve run traceroutes, and ping tests on my end as well as a full looking glass test - see below. What steps can I take to resolve these issues so that I can actually play the game

----------------------------------- My Tests ---------------------
Usage: tracert [-d] [-h maximum_hops] [-j host-list] [-w timeout]
[-R] [-S srcaddr] [-4] [-6] target_name

Options:
-d Do not resolve addresses to hostnames.
-h maximum_hops Maximum number of hops to search for target.
-j host-list Loose source route along host-list (IPv4-only).
-w timeout Wait timeout milliseconds for each reply.
-R Trace round-trip path (IPv6-only).
-S srcaddr Source address to use (IPv6-only).
-4 Force using IPv4.
-6 Force using IPv6.

Exact same results here, noticed over past 2-3 days. Same results pinging US servers, too

go ahead and run a winmtr for 10-15 minutes, you can be playing while it runs to make sure you’re experiencing the issue, then post it. it just gives a better look at what’s happening than the other tests.

Rogers is currently experiencing network issues. It’s related to a loss of power in the area. It will likely take several days to clear up as they get their nodes back up and running.

you are not alone, happens on my end usually after tuesdays server maintenance, few days later things usually start working again for whatever reason

really sad isn’t it, frustrating for sure

everything on my end is the way as they were prior to yesterdays maintenance, no new drivers to update, no windows updates, nothing, but after yesterdays etc…high high high world latency and even fps goes to zero, can’t even log out of the game bad lol, sickening

packet loss so bad it’s worse than dial up
