EU Latency/Connectivity Issues [Deutsche Telekom/1&1]

Gotta love those idle 'threats' of not buying anything from the Item Shop anymore or stop playing the game even though its not a problem on GGGs end.
Fitzi is even helping each individually.

Most of what I read ties back to an issue on the side of ISPs (including my own), especially when I consider that my spikes only start to appear at 3pm (about 10% of every new instance/loading screen) with its peek from 5-9pm (50%).



Here's what I got:

from what i ve seen the problems only occure in special ip ranges which can be relocated to the specific root of the problem. not using this hoster, blocking this ip´s is realy that much out of GGGs hand? i dont think so.

also, there were always problems with Deutsche Telekom, for some time it became better, but as it stands now, for me atleast PoE isnt worth the anger anymore. when GGG isnt able to fix the problem because its out of their range, ok, i must take it.
but i wont change my ISP because strangely enough ONE game is making problems. if its realy on Deutsche Telekom side to fix the problem, how is it possible that every other game and application runs smooth?

be it as it is, i enjoyed my yearlong ride with GGG, i supported them without regrets. but it seems this supporting comes finaly to an end.

At some point in time GGG may decided to add a new Hoster for new instance servers like the problematic server in range of 74.116.3.XXX. Many reports here confirm that servers in this IP range causing the lag spikes.
Yes, very likely our ISP Deutsche Telekom has some issues with servers in that IP range but to be honest, I would expect from GGG to take care of this. That they talk with Telekom and the Hoster of servers in 74.116.3.XXX to solve this issue for their customers.
Definitely I will _not_ change my ISP (only PoE has this kind of lag issues) and after weeks of playing with that lag spikes I'm frustrated and playing this game no longer makes fun.

Irgendwas muss die böse Telekom gemacht haben, während die Server down waren.. also am 08.03.2019 zwischen 18-21Uhr....denn davor lief das Game einwandfrei.

I'm not sure how much GGG or any other game company can do to improve a situation like this. As far as i know they are bound to the existing routes that ISPs provide. can't just build new roads anywhere you like. the problem here is that most ISPs choose the cheapest route which are full of traffic and not the fastest one.

I'm not saying you should change your ISP, but if you made half the effort comlaining to them about the problem you have as you did in this Forum then you would probably have a solution already.
Just give them a call or write them and show them you WinMTR results. In your case specifically the problem is the very first hop from your router to Telekom.

same issue with latency spikes in random instances.
following WinMTRs were made during a laggy instance in Wharf Map.

ISP: 1&1
Country: Germany
Gateway: Frankfurt

No other internet issues are present, restarted my router already, connected via cable

Deutsche Telekom, all Europeans Gateways are unplayable. Towns are like a powerpoint presentation. 1 frame every 20 seconds.

Same issue with latency spikes randomly appearing even if I enter the same Map / Zone twice it's gone when it was present.

Just before those lags occured the map was totally fine and playable. Screenshot taken after the map was cleared and I was just walking around. No Problems in other games Connected to router via cable. Spikes went up to 1.1k ms.

Any News from GGG? the same Problems where on Cadiro League for me. After then every league was quiet smooth until now. Do i have to wait to next league again, until i can play on Frankfurt Realm like after Cadiro league?

How can it be, that from Austria I got better latency to Amsterdam than Frankfurt? THE WHOLE DAMN LEAGUE Frankfurt Realm is completely broken! I am not using anything from German ISP's (From Austria here) and before the 3.6 update, I had no problems with Frankfurt realm. GGG please tell me what is going on. I also did tests and speedtests from ookla.com to manual "cmd pingtests to servers like Google.com" with 0 package loss and 25 latency. Frankfurt giving me 50-500 latency depending on the instance I enter. For example I open a Bog map, I have 50 latency (last league I had 25-33 STABLE!), then I open a Waterway map and I have permanent 300 latency... WTF?
