Looks like there's an issue again with connection stability to Connery for me. Since the last update I've been getting fluctuating poor/bad connection with ms spiking from 300 to 45,000 ms. Normal is 80-100ms. Trace route to Connery server hangs an times out after ........... ae-0-11.bar1.LasVegas1.Level3.net [4.69.133.109] comes up in the hops. Would appear to be another Level3 issue? https://forums.daybreakgames.com/ps2/index.php?threads/level3-issues-post-some-info-here.193501/ Tracing route to lvspsn-liv-gw01.station.sony.com [64.37.174.140] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 * * * Request timed out. 2 61 ms 46 ms 23 ms *removed for security reasons* 3 36 ms 65 ms 408 ms *removed for security reasons* 4 142 ms 32 ms 41 ms sea-b1-link.telia.net [80.239.193.149] 5 45 ms 85 ms 74 ms level3-ic-304311-sea-b1.c.telia.net [62.115.37.1 18] 6 110 ms 201 ms 96 ms ae-1-4.bar1.LasVegas1.Level3.net [4.69.133.109] 7 67 ms 67 ms 55 ms ae-1-4.bar1.LasVegas1.Level3.net [4.69.133.109] 8 * * * Request timed out. 9 * * * Request timed out. 10 * * * Request timed out. 11 * * * Request timed out. 12 * * * Request timed out. 13 * * * Request timed out. 14 * * * Request timed out. 15 * * * Request timed out. 16 * * * Request timed out. 17 * * * Request timed out. 18 * * * Request timed out. 19 * * * Request timed out. 20 * * * Request timed out. 21 * * * Request timed out. 22 * * * Request timed out. 23 * * * Request timed out. 24 * * * Request timed out. 25 * * * Request timed out. 26 * * * Request timed out. 27 * * * Request timed out. 28 * * * Request timed out. 29 * * * Request timed out. 30 * * * Request timed out.

Your connection doesn't seem very stable even before level3. Try typing "ping google.com -t" and see if the latency is stable there, if not it's your connection.
Also sea-b1-link.telia.net is a Sweden IP address so Connery most likely isn't the closest server to you unless you're being routed through Sweden for no reason. You should try Miller or Cobalt.
My connection to Emerald or EU servers are stable, there are no time outs. This is what happens from traceroute to Connery only. That does seem incredibly odd that I would get bounced to sweden before going back to Connery. That ping test is relatively stable 35-80ms range
Issue is still persisting, I've already contacted my ISP tech department about the issue and they're confirming it's not on their end of things. Soooo DBG, any update confirmations?
