Random instance lag

Randomly about 1/10 of the instances i join become laggy, it's hard to explain so i made a video, in those lagged instances i constatly have really high ping, and as soon as i quit the instance the lag ends, so its like the instance itself is lagged, it's not about my internet connection being slow or bad because this doesn't happen in other games, and i have normal ping on 9/10 of the instances i join, i've been having this problem for the last two leagues but it was just an inconvenience, but this league the lagged instances have ping of around 1000 and it's unplayable, to fix it i can portal to town and join the instance again and sometimes that fixes it, so for the campaign it's fine but this will mean that i may randomly have to give up map portals or restart the lab just because i got unlucky and got a lagged instance, i've asked on reddit and searched for similar problems on this forum but havent figured out what is happening, im playing on sao pablo.

Also, i asked to support for help and i got a "sorry we can't help" as a response :(

is this happening to anyone else?

here's the screenshot with the bug report number: 2709789837



here's a video, i have normal ping until i enter the instance at 0:22 in the video, then i get laggy and when i get out of that instance i have normal ping again

It's been happening in Latam since Monday. It's probably something wrong in our networks.

Unfortunately is not a server issue. I've been testing with a friend in the same instances and he doesn't have any lagspikes.

I can also rule out packet loss.

We can't do anything but wait until it gets better.

Infos:

Never had this before, in any league.

Server is São Paulo BR

Made a video about the latency spike

Everything was normal, joined instance for get waypoint and... a wild latency appears.
Sorry amigos, this is not on GGG's end.

There has to be a bottleneck somewhere, and who knows when is gonna get better.

What doen't mean that GGG shouldn't invest in an additional getaway in Latam. There is plenty of top-tier datacenters Latam, in the Pacific ;). Connections towards Brazil are known to be a total mess.

BTW, a quick mtr test of a messy instance.
