Europe / German Server Ping Rates

To give just one example:
It is quite unlikely that there is any undue latency within Blizzard's domain because then we'd all experience it (unless perhaps there was a single faulty router, but it would be very easy for them to pinpoint and fix it).  If anyone has a tracert that proves otherwise then please post it.

You know, I had read that same statement, and it didn't even register that way. Thanks. I was hoping you'd have an actual example (and not just puffing hot air, like some people around here). Always good to learn more. :) I'm almost surprised I missed that connotation - but not quite. ;) Sleep has not been kind to me these past few weeks.

As to how easy it is to pinpoint what the problem is and where it is, I'm sure it's not that simple. If it were, tech guys like me wouldn't have a job. ;) Having said that, there is some truth to your statements, in that if it was completely on Blizzard's side it would be prevalent much more staticly, and for all connected users (unless I'm missing something). Although, I wouldn't be surprised if there were some issues with Blizzard's hardware / software. Still, I'm still placing my bet on it being primarily an ISP issue. Time will tell.

Thanks again for the example. Somehow it had completely gone in one ear (eye?) and out the other. Illumination is such a wonderful thing, no? :)
