Smithville fiber World MS issues

[Vishiz-stormrage]

World ms much higher than normal

very sporadic, have smithville internet, normally under 20ms home/world. but is now over 100 world. home is still fine. TRACEROUTE: traceroute to 173.243.187.9 (173.243.187.9), 15 hops max, 60 byte packets 1 Blizzard Blizzard 0.327 ms 0.306 ms 0.301 ms Blizzard(24.105.18.3) 0.530 ms 0.612 ms 0.755 ms 3 137.221.105.12 (137.221.105.12) 1.070 ms 1.076 ms 1.079 ms 4 137.221.66.20 (137.221.66.20) 1.063 ms 1.061 ms 1.060 ms 5 137.221.83.68 (137.221.83.68) 38.003 ms 38.025 ms …

basically what its come down to is there’s some sort of issue on their end. using a vpn fixes the problem, but theyre unwilling to fix because im the only one to bring it up. so unless i want 250ms i am forced to use a VPN to play wow.

I suppose this solves the mystery from your original thread here:

I sure am curious - your connection looks near perfect on Smithville. Goes to show the simple tools we use are not fool proof.

i very seriously doubt they’re going to do anything about. I will be stuck on a vpn until it fixes itself. Which sucks cause watching youtube while on a vpn or literally any streaming activity tears up a ton of bandwidth.
