High latence and heavy lag spikes since saturday

Hello.

I hope some of you can help me identify my problem. Since this saturday I have been experiencing generally high in game latency and heavy lag spikes (2-5 seconds at a time).
Been playing from this same location for the past 6 years, with the same fiber internet connection (1000/1000mbit), same ISP. Wired connection at home, all the way to my netcard.
A traditional speed test shows no signs of problems (~900/900mbit with 4-5ms up- and download latency)

I have tried changing the ISP router to a new one, flushed DNS, released and renewed IP, ran a scan and repair of WOW, disabling all addons, deleting the cache-, interface- and wtf-folders, lowering the graphics settings. Nothing helped.

While running a dungeon with friends, who live in the same town as me, speaking on discord where there is no lag at all while speaking, and still experience several seconds lag spikes.

I tried to run a WinMTR, ping routing test to the 3 servers recomended in EU. See results below. Im not an expert in interpretation these, any feedback is welcome. I can only see that one of the hops have a severe latency and packet loss, but I have no idea of this being ISP or “Blizzard” related.

I only experience this lag in WOW.

Last solution seems to run a 3rd party VPN software. Im not a big fan of this solution + having to pay an additional subscription to be able to play a game makes very little sense to me.

The game is really not worth playing at the moment. Hope you can help me shed some light on this. Thank you in advance.

I am also having the same issue, non of the online support options haven’t changed a thing 40-4000 Home MS - 30 - 8000 World MS completetly random and only happened after weekly reset.

Having the same issues and currently unable to log in to Tarren Mill, randomly disconnected. Before that I had huge lag spikes.

Same problem here, but the last 2-3 days I have also had DC. I played for 2 hours today, no problem, then I DC 4 times in BFD, 1 time during the last boss fight, I was MT. please fix it.

Ever since the reset there have been massive Lag spikes in the game.
It has become unplayable for me.
Done all the steps cited by Blizzard (Resetting UI, Drivers, ISP Calls, Flushing Network Caches, Restarting Routers etc), and from what I can see, there is packet loss between their servers, which I discovered using Ping Plotter.
It does not seam to be widespread though, because there would be a lot more posts if there were.
I will have to find something else to play until reset, which is a bummer, and lets hope that sorts it out.

Having the same issues, but only since the latest update release. Came on Wednesday midday to have massive delays between pushing a button and seeing an action, characters and such are teleporting around as people move. Near unplayable. Deleted all addons, updated all patches and drivers, did everything you’ve done… no difference.

I posted about the same issues. Haven’t got a response yet in my thread. Glad to know it’s not just me though. The only way I can play right now is through a gaming vpn.
