I don't know how this issue come up, but I've been playing STO since February 2012 with same ISP and now I already reach VA rank with over 10K achievement points. Certainly something is not right which was started in 5 days ago. Could it be related to the up coming PvP boot camp?

I experienced some irregularities with some PvP MMO that were not well protected and some players used trojan/virus/etc to make them superior compared to others.

Please help me, Dev.

wow you come from the same country as i am

yes, we got lag & rubberband since second week of winter wonderland event. i did notice the problems are occured between 11:00 to 07:00 UTC on weekday, and the whole 24 hours on the weekend. from between 06:00 to 10:00 UTC during weekday, the ping was constant and no lag or rubberband occured.

my guess is, there's over network overload somewhere between cogent's atlanta and washington dc route since packet loss started to occur on that segment. and since i'm working on telco company, i can try re-route traffic using seabone cable to europe. the result was, i got higher latency but with less packet loss.

so, i think there's really a network overload in north america between west coast and east coast, even worse at usa's peak hours. i suggest you to use eu proxy first, then if you still got lag, use us proxy. direct connection on high packet loss will make you having rubberband all the time

btw, there's average of 80ms latency between cogent's boston and amazon data center in dublin, so using eu proxy will add more latency (means you toon will respon a bit late) but with less packet loss, the game will be more playable.
