Yeah, this post was more for those who aren't direct customers. Charter will sell bandwidth to other carriers and rerouted traffic could affect anyone whose signal bounces through Charter normally.

But connectivity to ArenaNet is fine at my location: ZeelandNet ISP, Zeeland, The Netherlands. > Ping: around 40 It use to be called Time Warner Cable, but Charter Communications bought Time Warner last year and changed the name to Spectrum. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Warner_Cable My family has had TW for many years, and still have their service since it switched over to Spectrum. So far not really any issues here in southern California. Although at 1 point yesterday the game was acting kinda weird*, and at one point I was disconnected to the character select screen with a "network error" code. A little later at least 1 other guild member mentioned having connection issues to the game. *weird as in: my character would suddenly slide across the screen while fighting something then suddenly snapped back to the right place, all while the animations of my character were going. As well as the camera acting in a similar, but not as bad way while mounting and dismounting. After I was disconnected the 1 time the game seemed fine afterwards.

Weird coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plot twist: it was the same tractor in South Africa as in South Carolina, yet there is no record of any tractors being flown from the US to Africa.
