Ping has been spiking like crazy past couple days

[Xethren]

<p>Topic.</p><p>The past couple days I have been getting huge ping jumps frequently. The game goes from the normal 100-200 all the way past 1500. Friends in the group reported they were getting the same thing at the same time. So ive been wondering if there is a back problem with AB recently.</p><p>Or it could be my internet, but I dont think several people lag at the exact same time if it's just me.</p>

<p>Greetings,</p><p>Has this been happening to you consistently or does it only happen for a limited amount of time before clearing up?  While it could be a server issue, I have not received an increase in contacts regarding server lag.  Are you using a router with your current internet connection?  If so, have you tried bypassing by plugging your computer directly into the modem?</p>
