Rising Latency, gets up to 20k

[Talaericus]

I am located in southern california and have a lvl 6 druid.

Leveling him up, the connection was fine, but then last night and this morning I have been plagued with ridiculously high latency, it slowly grows up to 4k ms and grows as high as 20k ms and continues growing...

Making the game unplayable.

Any ideas on how to remedy/what the cause of this is?

last few days it will stay at 100ms for a few hours then jump up to 2000 where i can no longer support my group...

super awesome game breaking lag!

Might be your internet provider. You may have ridiculous upload or download caps. Might want to contact provider. They could be blocking ports after seeing you use them for a long time. Check your Windows or alternative Firewall program and add exceptions or turn it off to see if problem persists. Also check router to make sure it is not your firewalls. Can always put your system outside the firewall into DMZ mode and see if problem persists.

If not its your router. Also check all your equipment when the lag starts. Is your Router really hot? Is your switch or hub really hot? If equipment is hot try ventilating it better. Hot equipment is not running efficiently and a hot switch or router will fk you up. If you are using wireless adapter check your adapter touch it. Is it hot? Again check ventilation.


P.S. I would really focus on DL/Upload caps and Heating issues with equipment. Due to fact this only happens after a few hours, I think this may be most likely culprit.
