Lag spikes most of the day (Australia)

I can confirm same issue for me. If i play early in the morning (6am) zero lag, at around 3pm it becomes unplayable.

I am with myrepublic for my ISP.

For those on Internode:

"

Due to an unplanned outage, customers may experience higher than usual latency & packet loss. This may cause slower than usual browsing speeds and will impact online gaming/streaming.

Our network partner is investigating.

UPDATE: 19/03/2017 17:15 ACDT:

Our network partner have advised of a fibre break affecting interstate links. Remote hands have arrived on site however due to heavy rainfall and flooding they are unable to access the cable for repairs, causing delays.

This will be the cause of the issue. It's not going to be something GGG can fix, sadly. When links go down like this, the backup links usually get saturated pretty quickly and the symptoms are what we're getting; high ping and packet loss.

The *good* news is that if you're in Sydney, the links to SG and US California are unaffected.

TL:DR


There's a fibre break. The latency and packet loss is caused by the backup links being over-saturated. This isn't GGG's fault.

For me it's really weird, because lag spikes seems to be only affecting POE Aus server... other servers or other online games like blizzard games doesn't seem to be having any lag spikes issues.

I'm on iinet in Brisbane. Fine through the day but horrible at night. It's been like this for days. Not much fun trying to level through the 90s when you get killed by an invasion boss that was meant to be 2 screens away. No issue with any other games. This is getting really frustrating.

Still ongoing.

If the http://advisories.internode.on.net/item/15836/ was the problem, and now it's apparently fixed.
"UPDATE: 20/03/2017 02:00 ACDT:
Our network partner has completed fibre splicing works restoring services."

I've no idea what is happening.

still happening
will this ever be fixed?
might as well quit poe as its only POE

Pretty poor effort to get to 8 pages and not even get a real response from GGG.

This is still happening as of 21/3

Happening for me still in Sydney with internode. Died to lag multiple times cant level up at all.

Hey GGG, this thread is 15 days old, are we going to get a response or are we going to ignore it and pretend it isn't happening?

same thnig here, the game is barely playable today
