I was going through the same thing. But, it turned out to be a bad Cat5 cable. When I switched it out it became silky smooth again. Reset your router if possible or check your cables. I went through the most horrible lag ever and I was convinced the server was trashed but nobody else was suffering from it. Hope you figure it out 'cause I was about cursin' up a storm laggin' through the first mission of an ITF. To go through that for a week is mind numbing.

G'luck.

I think I can safely guarantee that it's not a Cat5 cable - it's rather interesting when the netgraph on only one of the servers looks like a red bar code and on another (different datacenter) it looks fine.

Of course, when I filed a ticket on it, I was told that it's because my video drivers are out of date and I haven't installed all of the windows critical updates. Yes, because that's definately going to affect one server, from two computers (one of which is up to date)... I just stopped updating the ticket since they're going to keep throwing every excuse possible at me to keep from having to look into it themselves.

My guess, if it's not affecting everybody, is that it's GSP related, probably on the connection to the east coast datacenter (where Infinity is at, according to the wiki); the server that I'm not having trouble with is a west coast server, and I'm coming from cfl.rr.com.

I'm not saying that its a Cat5 cable just stating a personal problem I had in relation to lag that I did not take into consideration. I swore up and down that it was a sever problem but it wasnt.

Off-topic question what part of central florida are you from, Siolfir?

I'm currently in Winter Park while attending school.

As for the concern - I was figuring it was probably on the way to the data center, but I already talked to Roadrunner about it and thought that if it was being looked at on both ends maybe there would be enough pressure to get something done.
