High MS - recently only

There’s recently an issue with high MS on EU WoW servers from all Greek players that use Vodafone as their provider.

At least 10-15 guild mates confirmed the same issue.

This issue occurs randomly in the evening for most days between 6PM and 10PM server time.

Our ping is usually 30-50ms, and during these spikes it averages from 95 to 140.

Few things to clarify:

  1. Yes my internet connection is 100mbps flat
  2. No I don’t use WiFi
  3. Yes I tried every help article/scenario possible, it is a high MS issue only when connecting to WoW servers and nowhere else
  4. No I don’t use custom AV and firewall
  5. Yes I tried other internet provider and the ping issue was resolved
  6. Yes I called my ISP provider and they said they can’t see anything wrong and they can’t help since the connection looks good on their end (and mine)

The issue starts from hop 8 - which is a blizz servers.

Please let me know what I can do to fix the issue or what Blizz has to do.

Ye same problem as you described, there is problem with routing, seems nobody cares, it affects players in WoW too so i found solution there, download “free” app called “cloudflare warp” - this fixed my problem, no more delay, laggs. sitting on 30 ms now. without it it tanks 200ms.
