I have been playing with my friends from EU since 2011. I understand that comes with some increased latency. Typically I would play with around 96-106ms. However, recently my latency has been crazy. My latency has, over the past few months, went from 106ms, to 280ms with spikes in the 1000-5000 range. This requires me to, after a decade of playing (537 days /played on my main) to now require a gaming vpn just to play.
I ran WinRT and I see I am having packetloss from some blizzard addresses.

I have:
- Contacted my ISP
- Replaced my modem and router
- Replaced ethernet cables
- Upgraded my internet
- Bought an expensive router
- Always have played on a wired connection, never wifi.
- Reinstalled my OS twice
- Tried without using any addons on a clean install
Since I play from the U.S, I don’t really expect to get much support with this issue and thus I make this thread as a last resort. Just a few months ago I had been playing without any issues for 12-13 years.
