So I have access to both Internet providers. The FIOS is 150/65 while the Timewarner is a much slower speed. When I’m connected to FIOS I get disconnects and 2-4 second lag delays. When I’m on Timewarner I don’t get any disconnects or lag.

I was wondering if anyone has encountered something similar or perhaps there is a known issue with FIOS. I was thinking could my Internet be TOO fast for GW2?

Any thoughts/opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Id say its more likely the way the connections are routing to the GW2 servers, if FIOS is d/cing chances are its taking a path via its network that has a downed node/ or something is being flooded with traffic,

Your net speed will never be to fast for anything online, I know people with 200+down and have no issues at all.

Throughput speed has nothing to do with gaming. It is all about latency to the host server. So one connection will take a different path or have many more hops to the same host server, you would need to know the path each one is taking and the problems that path has.

Some people have had certain issues with FIOS but I haven’t. It has to do with the route the data takes to get to the GW2 servers.

When you are ingame, type “/ip” in the chat windows. This will give you the IP address of the server you are on.

Then go to Start and type in either “cmd” or “Powershell” and hit enter.
Then type in at the prompt
