    My rubberbanding is because of these guys as well (cogentco.com) Maybe Cryptics network team can reroute us around these backbones.

    Hey in the launcher pop up box,look for the options tab and scroll down where it says something like gameplay proxy and select EU, I had to do that this past weekend and I was able to play,when I used auto and US the game was unplayable.

    I can't believe the people would post their own IP address on a public website! You know these are crawled by bots every day looking for this information? You'd better hope to God your firewall is working properly and you don't have any open ports that someone could hack you with! People, don't put your public IP addresses in plain sight! This should be a warning in the original thread!

    They really should. But people are desperate for advice and as ever, are kept hanging with no help. Several of us have been told to post in here with concrete info in order to get things resolved and despite doing so, are still left hanging.

    Its most likely that the problem is being caused by network congestion in one of the Internet Backbone providers (e.g. most likely Cogent Communications..)

    Have you tried using the 'Proxy' options in the Launcher Option Menu, as this may, or may not help relieve the problem...

    Thanks for the response. I switched from the EU server to the US server. I actually thought it done the trick but the lag returned worst than ever after about 10 minutes :(

    Hello, I need help.

    Been having major lag the past couple of days. Now I can't get even past the character selection screen. I have no problem playing other online games like Guild Wars 2 but having major issue with STO. Here is the info requested.

    What does it mean when tracert reports an * instead of a number? I'm getting that for some.

    Also, nettest starts with "unable to allocate performance buffer", reports only 0 for the second and third columns, and becomes unresponsive at port 7003.

    A '*' means the router node is not responding, which could be caused by a variety of reasons, such as the node is not configured to support ICMP/IP Diagnostic packets, or too much network traffic to respond...

    Now if 'Net Test' can't allocate a buffer, this means there is something wrong with your own computer, such as running out of memory due to memory leaks, too many networked applications and processes running, etc. Try rebooting your computer, then run Nettest with nothing else running...

    Now the recommended upper limit for network latency to the STO Servers is 180ms... You're above this before even hitting the Cogent backbone... And in the first 'Trace Route' the congestion appears to be happening on a node that belongs to your ISP, so you might want to contact them and ask what is happening....

    You could try using the Euro Proxy Options in the Launcher Option Menu, as this may or may not put you on a different connection path that goes around the congestion, but there is no guarantee that it would work

    The second hop should have a latency of 15ms - 20ms. Yours seems to indicate a issue with your Router/Gateway/Modem unit. If rebooting it doesn't help, then you will need to contact your ISP and have them send someone out to take a look at the unit...

    I posted here http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1151761 and asked advice, was told to do a trace route.

    so I went and did a trace route.

    ...I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary for my connection, yes I know hops 5 and 6 shot themselves but thats normal for me and hasnt really affected my gameplay..its verizon and the backbone hub, who are playing point the finger and refusing to help..anyways..moving on, below's the trace route.

    Your network latency looks fine, but latency isn't everything... What about connection quality? (which is what the 'Net Test' diagnostic shows, as it tests sustained throughput on the connection...)

    You can also try using the 'pathping' command, which uses the same syntax as the 'tracert' command to see if data packets are being lost are thrown away on your connection path...

    There are still reports that Verizon is throttling bandwidth with connections to Cogent Communications (which hosts STO) as part of their dispute with Netflix, so this may explain the lack of support from Verizon...

    about the throttling thing..that doesnt surprise me in the least, it'd explain the grief I've been getting with swtor's launcher stuffing itself after I enter my credentials and click login. (it sits there with that stupid busy swirly..doing jack)

    I will however note that back in the tail end of may..I wasnt having these issues with sto, it was after one of the last few updates that it started.
