WoW is lagging since downtime last night

Just got home and this is what I'm getting when I tracert to my server:

C:\Users\Kareha>tracert 80.239.185.127

Trace complete.

Even if it is a Blizzard issue, I never had any problems until IDnet started messing around with whatever it is they've been doing.

Have you let support have your trace?

There does seem to have been a lot of failures since last Friday but we know that some of the DNS issues were attributable to a DNS server falling over outside of IDNet's control. Interestingly your inability to tracert into the Telia network on a Blizzard server IP reflects my own situation. I don't know if that's common to all IDNet users but it seems odd that we can still connect to a server but not ping the network it's sitting on.

Well, look's like it isn't a Blizzard issue as per the response of the Blizzard CM in this post on the WoW EU forums:

Simon's taking a look.

[Steve]

I saw that on the blizzard forum there's a definite leap in the 8th and 9th hops .

As far as I'm aware this has all been outside IDnet's control, and the WoW problem has just been solved. Latency has dropped from 500 to 50ms. Always nice when things are back to normal

I'm also seeing a huge drop in latency, it's currently sitting at around 50-75ms in a highly populated area. I've never seen it that low while I've been with IDNet. Long may it last! 

[jezuk1]

btw Rik, is it true that you've made 159719 posts? Assuming you've been on these forums for 10 years, that's an average of 43.7 posts per day (exluding leap years, and weddings where you have to dress up)  

[Glenn]

The number is correct, but it is in a little under 4 years.

Yes and I've been here less than 4 years, I average about 120 posts/day (the profile figure counts days on holiday etc, so it's lower).

IDNet have done nothing, Simon thinks Telia have fixed things.

[jezuk1]

I guess that my incessant babbling, whinging and phone calls to blizz have paid off 

[Rik]

Sounds like it. 

[Xerzil]

Cheers all for the welcomes.

Ping is down at 65ms!!  Happy days!

[Rik]

Indeed. Just as we like them to be.
