Has it changed since the server was moved?

GPZ is in the same camp as the rest of the servers now for me since the move. I get good to decent pings most of the time, the rest I am sure it's a local ISP or cloud issue (and possibly a NIC issue). I general get 50ms-150ms when things are *good* and when things are bad it's across all servers (been testing that the last few nights).

Questions: how many people that have lag issues are using on-board nics? I think I have an intel nic around here that I will try installing.

Can someone please explain this to me?

Right now GPZ is unplayable for me, mostly due to packet losses.

your pings and tracert is fine. No indication that there's any loss from the data presented. Perhaps it's just a random peak-traffic thing? (Playing at a different time of the day than when you took those samples?)

If you're behind a router, have a look at your settings to make sure that you're not giving anything else a higher priority over Allegiance. (QoS or Quality of Service can sometimes muck up an otherwise perfectly good connection.)

THIS IS GREECE.

You need to do more runs, the one run you showed doesn't show any problems.

It looks like a problem between the networks of your ISP and Tiscali carrier:

The route back to your PC looks fine.

This is an intermittent thing across all servers.Yes,the internet is broken,and I believe it has to do with the conficker attacks of 08.I may be wrong,but the internets servers (all of themrandomly) are having these issues.Google and YouTube are getting around it by using honey pot front end gatway machines that switch out on a regular basis.

I don't know how to reply to this... It is wrong on so many levels...

`yt for the replies. OK, I'll post more tests as soon as the problem appears again.

I talked to my ISPs helpline and they were aware of the problem. They said that there is a general problem with out-of-the-country traffic.
Since most of us that experience the packet loss issue are from the south east part of Europe (Greece, Turkey, etc) I believe that all these incidents are related to some line somewhere that is broken affecting all of us. So, GPZ administrators can't do something about it. Neither can we. We just have to wait and see.
