No updates since yesterday at 620pm. This morning I played fine for a few hours and it is back to lag, but there is still no update for today as to the status of this problem from anyone. Is it still going to be lagging next week when the new content drops? Or will it be ok today? When will it end? At least an estimated time is better then nothing.
The last update there remains current. We cannot do anything about it until Cogencto fixes the issue themselves, for this is not a Server issue. It is an issue with users who have ISPs that route through Cogentco's Network in the Boston area to get to our game Servers, which are also in Boston. We cannot give an ETA until we hear back from Cogentco.
Some folks have stated that using the EU proxy helps them, as well as others stated that setting up their VPN helps their connection, as well as others stated switching to one of their other ISPs allows them to connect. Alas, these aren't helpful work-arounds for the average user.

I am on the xbox1 how do I go through EU proxy server on there? I have opened 10 ports including the arc port, I also put myself on DMZ. I do not have another ISP provider in my area because Comcast has a monopoly, but I am still looking today for something else to use. Is there a way for us to contact Cogentco so they know that it is affecting actual people and not just your business? Plus you did not ever answer my question about compensation for missing out on events this weekend?

I do not think you can change to an EU proxy, as changing your location in XBOX would probably mess things up for more than just Neverwinter.
I did comment on the compensation in a previous reply: "However I do not see them compensating folks for this, especially when the issue is not under their control. As I said before though, I will continue to suggest such to them."
As I said there, I will continue to express how many users feel some sort of compensation should be granted. As for contacting Cogentco, they are a Bandwidth Provider, so complaining to your ISP is a start, as it is ISPs that contract to companies like Cogentco. I'll see if there's others ways to contact Cogentco though.

I went to a Starbucks so I could get my VIP key, invoke and start some leadership tasks... same SNR hell. Did a tracert and I am going through Cogentco from here too. On an interesting side note, this is one of the Starbucks which has the fast Google sponsored WiFi. I doubt they are using Comcast. I am going to try another coffee shop later today.

Could you please tell me what ip address you put into tracert? I have tried looking it up on google but haven't found it. Thank you.
So I called Cogentco, on that number that was given. Here is a summary of my call:
Me: Yes, hello. I'm a customer playing a Perfect World Entertainment game, Neverwinter Online, and many of us have been having connection issues due to a problem with Cogentco. Do you know anything about this?
Representative: Do they have a ticket number?
Me: None was given.
Representative: (In a rude/condescending voice) Then I can't help you. If they had a ticket open, they would have a ticket number. Otherwise I can't pull up any information for you.
Zebular, could you perhaps give us the ticket number, so these jackwagons can't give us the run-around? Their customer service is atrocious! No wonder you haven't heard back from them.

I used to work for a backbone company (used to be Exodus, now Savvis) and we never worked on issues raised by the customers of our customers. This is going to have to be raised by Arc and/or Perfect World through their ISP.

Although this is a Cogent issue, we tried to do as much as we could on our side, but it looks like the issue still hasn't been fixed? We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

Fix the memory leak in the mission tracker and maybe we'll forgive you....maybe. And no, its still not fixed. Could you add a EU proxy option for the gateway also I can't play the web game on my ipad either when away from the computer.

I paid for Zen for a VIP status which is a timed purchase I can not access now and losing keys. Bottom line, if i paid for something I can't use and I don't get compensated for what I paid for, why would I ever trust or pay for anything again thru your company? And I will be VERY voical insuring others know that buying the VIP is a risk and not to do it.
Even at its worse I was able to log in and claim my keys, it was profession management and invoking that was impossible if the toons were not camped out at the altar/campfire or had a portable altar on them. If anything give everyone a free claim altar so they don't move to trigger the warping during the disconnects.
We've tried even more things. Is this still happening?

Update: Maybe you guys are doing something right lately. Tracert showing relatively decent numbers with few timeouts. Launcher is firing up quickly. We will see what happens tomorrow at 1pm EST that is when my connection fails like clockwork.
Everything seems to be ok for right now, my tracers also look good with no drops. But I usually have problems on the xbox1 late at night around 12am and then again around 1pm in the afternoon. So we will see later tonight what happens. I hope it stays fixed now that you have announced a race to level 70 with giveaways for winners, because it really would not be fair for us Comcast customers who lag to not be able to have a fair chance at the companion!
Not sure what you did, but it seems to have gone away here in North Florida.

I've been able to connect just fine since late last night, South West Florida, Comcast. Many thanks to the IT guys and gals for working extra on this. Hopefully something can/is done to prevent this from happening again by Cogent.
Not a logic problem. Sometimes you end up thinking you've tried everything, but end up thinking of different ways to do something. Happens to the best of us.

I don't understand how there are sides. There is a service and there is a customer only. 2 sides. cognizant provides under the umbrella of customer which is owned by PWE. Who PWE decided to employ to assist in delivering a service should be invisible to the customer. If the paint on your eyeglasses start to peal do you blame Luxottica, no you blame the company who licensed the glasses.
If PWE didn't want that relationship and accountability they would make single player games.

Was this all due to Cogent throttling?
