Tracing the route from you to Anets servers would be a start to see where the problem is occurring.

I'm getting it too. I'd just blame my IP because of the snow we're getting, but it was happening hours before snow started falling. :|

I'm getting terrible lag too. Had 10 minutes of straight lag before I just gave up on playing.

Yeah I had a constant 5k+ ping in RA. Played a few matches before quitting in frustration.

I have it too, which really sucks walking around in 100 ping to be spiked to 10,000 ping.

At least now LOST is on.
