Random Ping Increase on Chicago based BF4 servers

[rustydusty]

Have been off Battlefield 4 for a week or 2 and came back to find my pings dramatically increased. Ran a few traceroutes and they all seem to be NFO servers based in Chicago. All my jumps seem fine until they connect here. Any ideas on lowering?

Frontier has been having some problems in Chicago recently that are related to per-IP load-balancing within its network -- random destinations in the Chicago area have high latencies for all Frontier clients because of them. We have not been able to route around these on our end; the only workaround is to suggest that the customer try a different IP address for the service, and that is only a temporary one.

Please make sure to contact Frontier to express that you consider a fix to this important! ISPs often do not prioritize fixes until they hear a significant number of customer complaints.

Thanks for the reply. I will get in touch with them. Cheers!

Here's a few sites I would recommend using to confirm if others are having similar congestion issues in your area;
