Looks like Scuzzy is definately right.  I have the same exact info. Its all fine until the traffic jumps from Level3 to ATT. That's when it goes to hell.  Will FIOS really fix the problem?  They all eventually have to hit a backbone somewhere.  That means ATT or Level3.  I don't think it will help in this situation.

Just started having problems too... maybe I'm not computer savvy, but it looks like an AT&T issue to me.

Ok, disregard my earlier comment. I don't believe this moron either...

http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r21610238-Connectivity-Disconnecting-from-Warcraft


Quote
See »forums.comcast.net/comcastsuppor···id=17159 if you would like to track this. Here's what I posted there:

World of Warcraft Issues --> Comcast Assisting to Help Resolve

We have numerous reports from customers who play World of Warcraft (WoW) of performance problems. We have seen this here @ »forums.worldofwarcraft.com/threa···geNo=205 (as of this time, an amazingly long 205-page thread) and here @ »[Connectivity] Disconnecting from Warcraft and several other places like this »www.inquisitr.com/12664/comcast-···t-users/.

We proactively made contact with Blizzard Entertainment, who developed and operates WoW, about a week ago. An examination traceroutes from their forum and which they shared with us indicate that this is not an issue on our network, but in the path between the Comcast and Blizzard's Dallas WoW servers. Latency has not been demonstrated coming from any parts of the Comcast network. And for the avoidance of doubt, we are no way throttling or blocking WoW traffic.

The forum data also shows similar performance problems with several other providers customers trying to reach Blizzard. We continue to make ourselves available to Blizzard to assist them in this issue. We are also proactively working with the various networks between us to attempt to resolve the issue.

Regards

Jason

Hey all, this is probably very basic for most of you, but how and what do you have to do to run a ping plot?

Really cold here in the Midwest. Plus its Sunday, "aint it? Im on vacation" My ping plot looks like the creature from the Black Lagoon. First time Ive ever had issue with this and comcast and have been getting bounced from the game, along with bad delays.

Let me ask this Skuzzy, succinctly. Now I just talked to the morons at comcast. They told me the only thing they can do is send a technician out. Which would resolve nothing right? I'm able to get online but I'm just not able to game. Now assuming comcast sent out somebody who can actually speak english he'd look at that and say, "there no nothing we can do", which is what comcast tech just told me. However they would charge me to tell me that in person.

So does anybody have any suggestions?
