Xbox series X, California realm Lag during peak hours.

I live in California and am able to play path all day with no issue. As soon as it turns 7:30pm the game is quite literally unplayable. I have plenty of clips on my Xbox that I could send if I knew how to get them from Xbox to here. I have had my internet company out multiple times and they can't tell me that anything is wrong. This seems to be an issue each league and you seem to fix it most of the way through the league. Any chance you could fix this soon? I cant be the only one experiencing this.

I can confirm, California gateway suffers pretty severe issues in the evenings.

I'm a bit further east (not in California), and assuredly on a different ISP (mine is local to my region).

I haven't yet tried a different gateway.

Maybe I'll try Texas for a few days and see if it's better.

Honestly, my hopes aren't high, because I think it's a Server problem and not a Gateway problem. I've seen TONS of posts from PC players on the PoE subreddit showing latency suddenly skyrocketing up to 10,000 or more. I'm pretty sure this is the same issue.

But it can't hurt to try.
