    so really weird. i did a speed test and my internet is sitting at 700+ mbs download, and 8 ping. but in game my ping is 150+ while doing nothing. is that because of the Akami thing?

    Is there a way or console command for PS4 that tells you your ping?

    There should be a ping counter and fps counter option in the settings, it is all in game on PC no addon or 'command' function required, never tried console though, but you should check the settings.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno

    Could this increase in PING be due to any monitoring code added recently or reviewing of database files behind the scenes for the recent GOLD issue?

    It seems to be a wide spread performance issue.

    I'm having the same issue too!
    Before this maintenance I had a ping around 200, after today's maintenance it's 400+++ ping in every map!
    I just reinstaled the game, clean install, reset my conection, contacted my ISP... nothing helped!
    It's unplayable at 400++++ ping, I hope ZOS do something!
    I also opened a ticket, let's see what they'll answer.

    Before the latest maintenance i have pings around 230, and it becomes 400+ after the maintenance. :/

    Does anyone have any of the server addresses so that people can run trace routes to try and put together a frame?

    I don't believe Customer Service actually reads tickets. All they know how to do is cut and paste. They don't take context into account even after it is presented to them. Here's an example of how they DON'T take context into account https://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/dwz3de/psa_do_not_use_this_mmo_term_in_eso_forums/

    My latency is actually better on EU server, by more than half. FWIW, I live on the east coast in the US.

    Why is my connection being routed through Australia?

    First screen shot is ping in game. Sitting at 340. Normally during the middle of the night I am at 150. This is 430 am EST. During the day with light server lag I am usually around 160 - 200. With heavy server congestion i'm 250+

    Second screen shot is tracert to ESO server. Clearly, I am being routed through Australia. Why? Ping is horrible with time outs.

    Third screen shot is Speed test to Dallas. Ping 91.

    Fourth screen shot is tracert to google. Final hop at 75 ms.

    Fifth screen shot is tracert to WoW. 13 hops at 70 ms to their west coast server.

    49241844896_94f2b1182b_z.jpgTracert-to-WoW by Howdy Doodie, on Flickr

    There is a problem with ESO routing. With other games like WoW I am getting a normal ping of 70ms. Google is giving me normal pings. Your servers are located in Texas. I can easily get 90 ping to Texas. I just don't get it. Why does this game have such terrible latency performance issues for so many years? It's bad enough that server performance is horrendous, now we have to suffer with routing issues?

    This is not new. It has been an issue for several years and it continues to get worse.
    This is not new at all.
