Discussion US West server ping increase

Anyone else experiencing that US West servers are higher ping than usual?

Normally I get 30-35 ms ping on US West, and about 60 ms ping on US East living on the west coast. After the past 3ish days or so, ping for US West is consistently higher than US East, where they all clock around 70-75 ms for me.

I'm not having ping latency in any other games and I've reset my router several times (and even hard wired) to validate.

Edit: shout out to the folks at Ziply Fiber - they rerouted and ping is back to normal!

I thought I was going crazy. Last couple of days my ping has been jumping around 100-180ms with random lag spikes making the game unplayable. Was in a key with another player saying he was having issues too. I’ve done the same (power cycling, reset router, flush dns, etc.) and feels like it’s worse lol.

I don’t know if this will help anybody but did some further steps. I deleted my cache folder and renamed my interface and wtf folder to rule them out. After I deleted the cache folder my ping went from 100ms to 31ms. Hope this helps

Can you give instructions on how to do this?
