Lag increase to GLS.lotro.com

Do you experience these connection issues outside of when you're gaming? Do you use a wired or wireless connection? Can you provide some trace route tests to at least 2 different sites so we can compare them?

I don't notice it as much because its not that apparent .  Its a wired connection.  Thats all we ever use.  Sorry I didn't get a trace route from the times with good connections.

The trace routes you provided shows the latency taking place outside of our network. Using a wired connection will allow you to have the fastest speed, the timeouts that we are seeing are happening on the other side of the trace once the packets have left our network. The return times are low with the trace route results as well.
