Latency - twelve99

Greetings!

I am hoping to get some help / resolution to an issue I’m having for months now.

Some web search reveals it’s a provider issue, but judging by the IP ranges, Blizzard is a customer and hence you likely have better handle on them.

I initially noticed the issue with Heroes of the Storm, which seems to have a 200ms connection timeout (I repeated the route and it is 180ms, assuming the odd slower and a round configuration) - a relatively new thing on their end, used to work with 300ms (cross-region). Hence, apart from the odd match, it is entirely dysfunctional now. Basically 30 minutes ago I was about to uninstall everything Blizzard, spending 15 minutes trying to even connect to a match. (First match was borderline okay with 3 disconnects, right before.)

That said, I noticed the same issue in Remix. Could be timeframe based or server based, but occasionally - mostly evenings and weekends - some dungeons would lag like hell. Notably, only one dungeon, and then it was fine. So I feel validated to try and message you here.

I managed to snatch some IPs using resource monitor.

I hope it helps. I would absolutely appreciate some feedback whether this is known, will be fixed, or what to expect. Ongoing for three months.

Thank you!
