AT&T UVerse Online LagI have Uverse for online gaming. I play a few online games and for some reason I get really high latency/ping to places im close to. Any server in Northern California I get 80-90+ping, im located in Southern California. Places like Texas I also receive 90+ ping. When I lived in MN i would get ~40 ping from MN to California. Not sure what the problem is. Here's an example of one from Northern California. #10

Maybe not the root cause but you're double-natting which is a small drag on performance. You can either setup the d-link router in access-point mode
or
setup the router as an IP Passthrough or dmzplus depending on your RG, I have found that my asus rt-n66u NATs MUCH better than the RG so I have the latter. |

Breaking it down, Inside your home you have 10ms> (really should be faster) which isn't bad. The hop to the ATT network does a +40-60 ms alone. This is likely due to all uverse vdsl2 (and adsl2+?) connections are interleaved, no way around that at this time. From there each hop after that added 1-7ms of latency, including crossing into cogentco network. When your path leaves cogentco it does another +10ms and again does +1-3ms for each hop after that.
So my recommendations, try out cable see if they have better "first" hop latency OR do what I have done for the past 10 years or so playing with 120-160ms ping times, lead your shots. |

What is going on with that D-Link router? Should look more like this: 1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms Chihiro [192.168.102.1]
When I was running cascaded NAT, the modem NAT device was always under 1 ms; same as the router. |

A quick thought, the +40-60ms hop to att does see high. You would not happen to be running any sort of bittorrent/fileshare program at the time of that traceroute would you? Just for giggles I ran a trace to the same server from my connection and noted my initial hop is lower, but I see packetloss and slightly higher ping times due to right now I am saturating my downstream and upstream. (Looks like I have a little work todo on fixing my dmz'ed router queues.) My traceroute [v0.85]

It instantly rose all the download speeds. So the greater latency must be an artifact of the powerline adapters. I am glad I took the trouble to retrofit my (at the time) 39 1/2-year-old house with wired Ethernet. |

I've recently switched from adsl2 to uverse adsl2+ and my ping has increased by about 30ms on the average to most of the game servers I play on. I'm hoping to get my data path changed. |

Let me know if that works for you! |

Powerline adapters are well known for introducing significant latency |
