I'm not the only one who has noticed this, but the normally stable Chicago servers seem to now be rife with weird lag, hit registration problems, teleporting and other stuffs. It's kinda puzzling, because that wasn't always the case - This seems to have started about the same time Ashburn servers went down.

 

Chicago servers used to be good for me, but now they're about as bad as Ashburn used to be, or even *shudder* Dallas3. Now I only get decent performance playing on Los Angeles and Kansas City.

 

Sooo... Just putting this out there. Any idea what's going on?

Chicago area internet has been wacky as fuzzy bunny the past day or two. At home and at work just everyone having trouble accessing random websites, people at work (accounting firm) going bonkers cause they couldn't access the IRS website, etc. Some AT&T LTE services just not working at all across the board.

 

Someone told me it was due to another Level3 outage (so soon after the one back in August?) but I haven't found anything concrete by just Googling about it. Not quite sure what the deal is/was.

Interesting. I hope it gets sorted out, whatever it is...

I agree. My ping today was hitting 560 on chi-town servers. They used to treat me right. Breakup imminent.

Got the inside scoop - lvl3 fiber was cut just south of chicago. Good ol' back hoe fade. They're patching it right now.

:: ----------- Broadcast Message :: Digging around and hitting --------- up for some help, we've uncovered that Level3 is having some major network problems at this time while they deal with a fiber cut between Witchita Falls and Denton as well as Chicago and Saint Louis. As they are our only inbound VoIP provider we will most likely be experiencing issues until they have this fiber cut resolved. To give an example the latency right now between Level3 and ATT is 250ms.
