Lag and Location

[BurnerD]

I noticed that two of the folks who are trying to quell the rage against the lag are both located in Massachusetts.

I am not implying any type of tin foil hat conspiracy here, just wondering if their geographic location and perhaps the relation of their internet provider to the datacenter has something to do with their current performance.

I know that Turbine is gather trace routes, but looking at geographic location is their a pattern?

How about listing general location (nearest big city), Internet Provider, and lag level?

I know the trace routes are better data. I'm just curious to see how the answers shake out.

(please do not argue about how bad it is or take shots at Turbine)

Lag
1 - little to no lag. can play the game with only sporadic (normal) lag
5 - moderate to severe lag in full group epics and raids
10 - moderate to severe lag in public instances, all quests regardless of party size.


Here's mine:

Alllentown PA
ISP: RCN Cable 155Mbps
Lag Level: 8

Little to no lag for 10 years. Last 5 in current location.

[Amundir]

Little Rock, AR
ATT Uverse (forget my speed, but it's like one from the bottom package)
1
Raids: Never

[Caine33]

Toronto, ON
Rogers 10-15 Mb
Level: 7-8

[mikarddo]

Denmark
YouSee Cable 40mb
Lag: 8

[Nyata]

Germany
ISP: German Telekom (sorta. we all get routed through the same hardware here no matter what provider) 16-20 Mbit/s
Lag Level: 3

definitely not Massachusetts here :)

Germany
German Telekom

solo quests: 1-7 (mostly ok but generally sluggish feel of micro delay, full lockups DO occur, shorter duration)
group quests: 4-8 (sometimes ok, freeze and lockups more freequent, longer)
raids: 7-11 (there is ALWAYS lag, in any raid i played since the move. we skipped DOJ, only ran EN, and always completed but it is a drag)


...
I do not have the exact same routing as nyata. I dont think that makes a difference though. I think its a matter of perception...
