Speed tests are worthless. The only thing they tell you is your speed, nothing else.


Run your WinMTR longer, 300-500 and try running it when the spikes happen.

I don't know how! but : https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1429518 / http://www.battleping.com/ fixed instentely my ping spikes and even reduced it..

why GGG can't use this kind of thing and implement in the client? i mean that's just amazing! but 30 days to enjoy it

What battleping is, is a VPN, it takes your connection a slightly different route to the same servers you are using(in other words the server is fine.)

If it fixes the problem for you then it is almost certainly your ISP's choice of routing....the original problem though is not fixed.

Also note that since battleping is just routing you through a different series of hope before the end destination it CAN have the same types of problems and any other servers or hops.

As for GGG implementing another server to route your connection elsewhere?...choose another server, the ping might be slightly higher but the problem will probably be missed.

Considering you spike build and that you play on eu it is fair to believe that it is the same problem all the other people (including me) have.

If you want to know more about the problem you can research it pretty easy if you search on google for level 3 vs Deutsche Telekom or look at it on youtube (there are some interesting (german) lecture about the topic from the CCC (chaos computer club) you can find). The problem is that there is nothing we can do about it until this huge corporations finally thing they pressured each other enough on the back of the consumer and add a reasonable amount of bandwith.

(Only one of the thousands of examples what and why it is happening (german): http://www.heise.de/netze/meldung/Netzneutralitaet-Init7-wehrt-sich-gegen-Kritik-der-Deutschen-Telekom-2591600.html)

idk how long does it take for them to realize that we live in different places"so our ISP obviously not the same" and we all face the exact same problem with their game
idk if its a server or game files problem but we got a problem here GGG and its getting bigger and as time passes by more players are affected with that exact problem
its not just a simple lag problem ofc thats how it started, but now the game freeze everytime i login, and i get "unexpected disconnection occurred"
i get that error all day
and im posting here because i care about your game and i love it, so plz try to find whats wrong and fix it
stop telling us that its our problem

It is unplayable for me too. For what, about 3 hours already? It is ALWAYS in the afternoon/evening but at least before it was during weekdays, now during the weekend too?

Europe here, same ridiculous lagspikes, it is so bad I am feeling physically ill by just "playing" for a minute.

You realize that a lot of traffic in europe goes over the same route (the biggest junction point in the world is in Frankfurt)? I doubt it is a problem ggg can change anything about other than throwing money at the problem and choosing different routes for poe traffic.

I know it's not GGG responsability, but it is getting really frustrating.
I've been playing with unusual high ping for more than 1 week now and in the evening is totally unplayable.
And this situation in every EU servers.

I guess I will try the US servers....probably a more enjoyable expererience.

The issue with US servers is the 160+ Ping which is sick a lot... i will use the BattlePing for now and i will hope they will find some solution before my free 30 days expired..
