Dont knwo after which updates started this problem but its not more then 2 weeks. I am suddenly gettin huge pin number and lag like 4k ping. I am watchin full hd films from websites without any problems also listeninmusic from utube with full hd or hd. There is nothing wrong with my connections. My sister watchin films and tv series every nite and wasnt gettin any lag problems since 1-2 weeks. ? could blame my sis but in morning time i am gettin same lag problems ans huge ping numbers while my sis at work. i really cant do anything, cant play pvp ppl kep sayin if u have lag do not join pvp and ruin other players game which is they are right. Also cant do raids i am keep gettin kicked squad bocz of lag spikes and i am dying from it and slowin ppl, also even map exploring on any map. When i have lag and huge ping i am tring to connect gw2 forum site but i cant either. ? am easiliy connectin other website but gw2 ebsite takes nearly 1 min to load. Btw while i am havin lag other ppl not blinkin they are movin very smoothly just skills and some action or intract things havin lag or delay.

Here is a good explanation of how it all works.

Look at a map of the city or town you work or live in. From there pick a point on the other side of the map (game server location). Now get in your car and drive to that point (path internet takes). Every traffic light you pass is a intersection (node). If there is no traffic or any accidents then your trip will be rather quick (fast speeds/low ping). As traffic increases your time increases (higher ping). If there is an accident along the way traffic stops (very high ping/packet loss).

As others have said, Anet controls the point they connect to the internet. you control the point where you connect and your ISP is responsible for everything in between. There could be several nodes between your connection and Anet. There could be a problem at anyone of them.

Game servers for different games, HD video, music are all located in different places so the routes your internet takes to get there are different. This is why other things work better.
