Nettest and lag issues?

Couldn't find the proper place to post this, so please Move if necessary.

Noticed some lag this morning, so started poking about. I had the old Cryptic Nettest.exe file, and ran it. Some Ports didn't respond at all, others seemed fine. But it suddenly occurred to me, with the changeover, that this tool might be looking at exactly the wrong places for its details.

Has there been an issue with lag today? And does the nettest program work since the switch to PW?

Thank you.

    considering the game servers didnt move at all... and its trying to test to those servers and not the website servers, then the changeover wouldnt matter at all if its trying to connect to the gameservers.

    but looking at those ping results, its possible somethings just being lost on the way to them.

    Unless my information is old now, the game servers were origianlly in the Boston area (am I remembering wrong on that?) and the NE of the US had some pretty ugly storms this past weekend that have caused issues. There is a chance that some of the lag might be coming from routing around affected sites. Bear in mind this is speculation on my part as I do not remember
    a)if the servers are still where I think they are
    and
    b)the storms had a large enough impact on data infrastructure

    Pretty much this. A traceroute to the server looks fine until it hits the Boston area.
