ping troubles Options

[Crazy Canuck]

curious if anyone else has been experienceing ping problems lately! My ping to most servers as of late have been in the range of 300 - 500, with the exception of a few which i'm assuming are closer to me in the west.

i normally run around 85 - 150 with most servers so this is quite a jump. I've checked for spyware with a few different programs as well as viruses with norton and found nothing, so not sure whats going on!

starting to get the jitters here as i've been unable to play for about 4 days now!

These routes are correct or at least better. The Atlanta looks good. The Chicago and Dallas, both show a high latency at the first hop onto Saskatel (208.175.169.22). But the times are good up until the last hop from Toronto.

If the trace from Chicago to you goes via Toronto, I'm still confused as to why your route to the stock server goes through California. Who is your service with? Is it Sasktel?

I wish that I had more answers and fewer questions. But I do believe based on these routes and mine last night to usask.ca that there is a routing problem at your isp. That would explain the issues with you going through San Jose, and the high latencies that we see on the hop from Toronto.

Looking at the Sasktel webpage they seem to be doing upgrade,

Check the maps at the bottom to see if your area is in the midst of an upgrade. Their announcement says downtimes of up to 4 hours, but they may not even be aware of this routing problem.
