Latency at 200ms from 40ms for years!

My latency for no reason has gone to a steady 160 - 200 ms.
Its been 40 ms for 2 years.
If I test online at a speedtest website it is still very low around 12 ms.

I have ran the blizzard/overwatch repair but it remains the same at around 200+ ms in game?!
I have flushed my server and reset it.
Nothing is running in the back ground.
I have gone to play on American servers as Im only getting 110 ms there ROFL! well done EU

I have the same, usually around 37ms, today 200+ constantly. Am about to make my own thread with some network details stuff if maybe blizz people could look through it, as admittedly I dont know a whole lot about internet connectivity stuff;
But yes, exact same problem. and its aweful. D:

It’s not just you, mine is 200. Like I’m playing from EU to US West…

Im from england, my ping in eu is 175-184 and in americas its 110… wtf

Same i have 200 ping on overwatch,EU wow servers, and 120ping to US servers, i suspect its a linx/blizzard issue , as my ping on speedtest in <9ms. ISP is SKY UK

Mine just went down to 40ms, for now…

Welcome to the wonderful world of Blizzard servers garbage and not caring for customers. I’ve been talking about this for a month and nothing has been done about it.Been having lag spikes for 6 months.

Can confirm same latency issues playing from uk same issue with 5 other friends all uk bound. Then it will drop to 37 again , think ive only seen this since the data centre update they did.

Hi i have the same problem. I play on the American server (NA) and have a fiber internet connection. My latency increased from constant 49 to constant 155.
Here is my routing information from blizzard looking glass app.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. I have to climb that ladder :stuck_out_tongue:

Please do not reopen threads that are several years old. Any issue that may have existed back then is almost certainly no longer at the root of whatever currently may be going wrong.
