Another North Carolinian here. On May 14-15 my lag was frightful, with average pings hovering around 2k and spikes between 20k and 80k every 10 minutes or so. I also DC'd with 007 about once an hour, sometimes with failed reconnect attempts. Then on May 16, everything was pretty much back to normal, with pings averaging 200-300. Same story as everyone else: all other internet-based stuff was running smoothly. Earthlink (via Time Warner's infrastructure) ISP.

4 of us in my guild were doing some things last night. 1 from Utah and the others from Arkansas. All on vent. The 3 of us from Arkansas kept getting huge lag spikes (I had 25,565ms pings every few minutes) but are using different ISPs. The 1 from Utah had no problems whatsoever. Vent worked fine with no lag. My ISP has a speed test website so I used it. No problems with speed tests. Even tried testing to Dallas with no problems. It's been this way for over a month now. I normally have around 65-75ms ping rates.

I've been a network engineer for 18 years. It appears, to me, that the problem is on the server end. Also... it seems to be worst during the first 2 hours after updates.
