    Just you. Check with your ISP. What server you on? DW is fine.

    Not just you, one thing is sure though, it is not affecting all the playerbase, I dont know if there is a border gateway faulty somewhere between my home and PWI servers but I'm also getting random spikes and d/c, and it only seems to be affecting my PWI client, rest of the internet is fine.

    This is usually an indication of a regional router that has nothing at all to do with the servers or PWI's ISP, or your local network. Unfortunately, many people seem to think that they have this magical direct connection to the servers and don't realize that there is anything in between.

    Sometimes shutting your PC and modem of at the same time for a few minutes (not seconds) can help. It may then find a better path around the router or hub that is causing an issue.
    Take the time to look for your answer before you post like an idiot.

    well i mean i did a speed test and everything seems fine, i turned off pc and modem, didnt change, restarted pc and sitll the same. its been like this for 3 days and getting annoying, dunno if it is isp cuz everything esle on the net seems to work good. another thing i need to add is that once in a while it stays stable but then keeps going up and down. Like 30 seconds it will stay on low ping, the next 30 will be a lot higher, and so on. It keeps doing this for 3 days now so idk if anywhere that can help would be very grateful

    Considering that Val did say that there was an actual hardware problem, and they were going to upgrade to fix it, and this was causing lag and DC's, I'm willing to bet it involves the PWI servers and not a regional router.

    That's specific to the NW instance. (Because many instances such as that run on their own server.) As it's been the occasional problem that has been occurring since the beginning of MMO's and internet gaming, I am pretty certain that if it's not NW related, it's not the servers. It's most likely either your local network, or something in between you and PWE.

    Do a Traceroute when you're having the issue, and post it using the CODE tags.

    It's a server issue. I'm having lag problems too. These lag issues started a few days after the NW update. Several people that i've spoken to in game have the same issue. It can't be, that suddenly, so many people at the same time are having personal network problems with their connection. Especially when everyone uses differant providers.

    If it were a server issue then everyone would be experiencing it, not just a few. Many are playing without having any trouble with lag or disconnects at all. This tends to show that it is not, in fact, an issue with the server.
