Thread: CSS AWP Server Latency / Lag issues 184.173.90.91:27015

Server: 184.173.90.91:27015

I've noticed two different issues now. One issue, which I've commented on previously, seems to have a lot of non-internet related lag for everybody on the server. This is usually coupled with a server crash.

When I do tracert and ping tests to the server during this issue, I never notice any problems.

Tonight I noticed a different problem. Tonight I was perhaps the only person lagging, but it's hard to tell because I think some of the players were new to the game and may not realize the difference between no lag at all (which is most of the time here) and some lag here and there.

The Tracert shows a different story when this happened tonight:

I decided to ping it a bit as well. Different story this time.

Ping statistics for 184.173.90.91:
Packets: Sent = 526, Received = 526, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 52ms, Maximum = 304ms, Average = 55ms

So it appears to be a problem here:

8 * 33 ms 33 ms ae7.bbr01.tl01.atl01.networklayer.com [173.192.18.172]

Would you agree or am I missing something? Either way, it appears to be out of my ISP's hands and not directly on the TPG server network at this point either. Frustrating as heck.

Man, the problem is just getting worse. Same on both servers now. I know this is specific to me and is different from the problems the servers had the other day. Anybody else going through Atlanta and have this problem?

This actually ended up being the blade my cable modem was connecting to. I've been working with my ISP for the past week to get it "resolved" but it doesn't look promising so far.
