[Wave Broadband] High Latency/Connection Issues

This is EXACTLY What I’m seeing as of 13-Aug… it’s blowing up between two of Blizzard’s servers.

I looked up IP locations with https://whois.domaintools.com/
137.221.66.20 is a Blizzard server in Las Vegas just before the problem server.
137.221.83.84 is a Blizzard server in Las Vegas that is apparently the issue (+1000 msec).
137.221.65.1 is a Blizzard server in New York that might be part of the problem (+60 msec).

All the other 137.221.x.y Blizzard servers are are <20 msec, but .83.84 and .65.1are both high latency within Blizzard’s server set. I’m Wave broadband in WA state, but why does the MTR show a problem on Blizzard’s side that only affects Wave?! The MTR shows that Blizz server .65.68 is dropping 90% of packets with like a 15-sec delay (not msec).

Edit: The basic VPN included with my anti-virus seems to do the trick although it bumps by “normal” ping from 50 home/25 world to 125/125. Still better than not being able to play with my raid group on Duskwood (I have no issues with the VPN off playing on Proudmoore and queued instances unless I try to group with people from Duskwood).
