No, what happens is my Battlelog reports 200-300ms pings on servers that had 50ms pings for months.
Believe it or not I run a NOC, so I have some passing knowledge of networking fundamentals. I have done all the suggested troubleshooting and much more to no avail.
I have a FIOS connection that consistently scores 50MB up/down with no ping loss. I play other multiplayer games and stream content with absolutely no issues. Actually I can have two streams gong in my house and play other, non-EA, multiplayer games with no issues.
This is not the first time this problem has come up and last time it resolved itself with absolutely no action by me, the user.
You can take the worthless, cowardly, and absolutely worst customer service route and blame the consumer, but that isn't gong to score any points with me.
I can reproduce the isolated error on most EA servers all day.
You want to get a funny one though? VI, Violent industries conquest Golmud 24/7 had a ping of 90 before this all started and it still have a ping of 90 right now, no change. One of the handful of servers I get a good ping from.
This is obviously some kind of traffic shaping or capacity issue, so stop blaming the customer and fix it. If you have a BELIEF that there is another IP or other server farms I should be running a ping or a tracert to, then by all means provide those DNS name or IPs or stop trolling my posts with your useless input. I deal in proof and verification, not in, "Blame the customer because I can't figure it out.....duuuurrrrrrp."
