6Kb a sec? LOL! You mean 2Kb? 3.5 or 4 was the norm on a 56k baud connection. 28.8k was around 2Kb. I am talking average btw....

I have seen connection issues of late as well, but not that bad.

To add, logging in is even rough anymore. Timeouts, or it will hang and give you connection errors.

end user's packet loss ≠ game server patch

So with all this technical mumbo jumbo, why all of the sudden is this crap happening since last patch with everyone?

While the game server patch certainly did not have an effect on end user packet loss, it very well could have an effect on how the server handles the packets, hence the rise in issues that are being reported. There are just a lot of variables that make it difficult to determine where the problem is (and the same symptoms could be caused by many different problems).

We aren't trying to argue that the patch made our connections worse. What it did do was change the baseline behavior that individuals had witnessed before the patch. Post patch I started seeing the OP information in Wireshark, alongside more frequent login issues (blank server select, error connecting, freeze from char select) during times which previously did not usually have problems.

Yes my connection sucks, yes I had problems before the patch. I frequently monitored wireshark while logging in / zoning prior to the patch, and noticed a lot of differences post patch. When there is a patch note referring to net code, and a slew of other users reporting similar problems, there is reason to look for a correlation.

I don't think this has anything to do with poor connection either...

I NEVER had issues in the past 5 years of playing. I consistently had roughly 18-22 ping every night, never got kicked, and zoned within 5-10 seconds.

Now I am steadily at 50-70 ping, takes me 30min + to log in, and I crash every zone looping me back to the30min login process (wineq2 seems to have fixed a lot of issues, but again never had to use this in the past).

I made no changes to anything on my end in the past few months at all, I literally just get on my computer to play EQ. I have 100mb down/75mb up service, and do not have issues with anything else, ever. I guarantee its not my "shitty" connection.

I packed up all of my things and moved to Toronto. It seems like connecting from here has shown a significant improvement. Would recommend that others having similar issues also try Toronto and report back results.

Probably the same reason we've had great weather in Phoenix since the patch.
