| Latency issues on the east coast?
Anyone having some strange latency lately on the east coast? Im in VA, and play alot of team fortress 2 online, and normally my pings were in the teens - 20s on my favorite servers, now they are generally 60-100. Its not my routers or PC's, because i have changed all of that out. No viruses/spyware either. I have several routers and such laying around for testing, and cables. Also, ive noticed my www.speedtest.net pings to the Morristown, TN server have skyrocketed as well, and several other east coast locations. My ISP, of course, will say there is nothing wrong on their end. I assume there are maybe some outages on the ol backbone somewhere, or some routing changes. My ISP is Sunset Digital Communications, and im on a fiber connection.
Is anyone in the know, or have some suggestions? |

Try running a traceroute (tracert in Windows) to stable sites like Broadband Reports. Latency should gradually increase with distance and hop count. If you notice unexplained jump in latency it may indicate problems with that or the previous hop. Problems may be be occurring within your ISP network or external to it.
Does your ISP have its own speed test site? That may be useful in identifying problem is within your ISP network or external to it.
Run the line quality test from the tools page.
Are you sure none of the other PCs on your LAN or applications on your PC are using the Internet at the same time, thus degrading speed?
