Weird increase in server ping times for overseas servers - anyone else?

[Shadoga]

Hi fellows!

 

Since last week, I noticed a weird increase in ping times for overseas servers.

I'm located in southern Germany and while nearby continental Europe server pings have remained stable, transatlantic pings have risen by over 100ms.

 

Examples:

- ACG Cold War: steady 32-45

- Buddyspike Blue Flag: steady 40-55

- 1st Fighter Program (french): 50-65

whereas:

- 104th Phoenix: from 130-150 up over 260

- DDCS: from around 160 to over 270

and so on.

 

I already checked and reset and updated everything I could on my side: PC, router, switch, cable modem, cables.

Everything normal, bandwith tests show nothing indicating that my provider changed anything.

 

Has anyone else experienced something like this?

What could it be?

Okay, so it's not just me. I'm in SA, and usually expect around 160-190 for EU and about 200-220 for US. Maybe there's a problem with peering between US and EU. Will require more testing.

for me it seems to be all servers.

 

they all seem to be 50-100 ping slower.
