Ping spikes to 8000-10000 every 2-4 minutes, consistent for the past 12 hours

Same thing in BR servers, huge lag spikes that make the game unplayable. Never had this level of net issues in poe, and now I do not have any issue on other games.

To note, I was having these lag issues before the league start, when doing run tests the day before the league.
What is happening with the servers ggg. I'm in Cali server and the lag spikes and disconnections are thru the roof!!!
I can confirm that it is currently not playable in Germany.
I literally can't play the game, in hideout my ping is normal but as soon as I get into any map my ping spikes between 30 and 300, eventually going to thousands, kicking me to log in screen.

From my thread, describing the same problem:

"
Here's also the MTR, if that helps: https://pastebin.com/Lq2yhtH5

I kept running into the Dried Lake and pausing once the latency started rising. I dc'ed between 15k - 25k ms and just reloaded into the zone again. Did that like 5 times.

Same problem now in Act 6 Mud Flats. Latency starts skyrocketing as soon as I enter the zone. I don't think I can brute force through this one.

Very little packet loss, amazing ping. Yet, I cannot get out of Act 8 town. Ping immediately shoots up and I get disconnected.
Sometimes I can barely leave and go back to town to try again with a new instance.

When it does work, it works brilliantly and I get a solid 20ms like you would expect from this MTR.
...I then get disconnected in the next zone and sent back to town, to try and get into the conduits again.


My measurement was taken a while after I stopped playing. I just tried it again and I get a solid 18ms ping with no issues now.
Since the measurement was possibly taken after it fixed itself, it should probably be disregarded.

Same for me, was pretty annoying last night going through the first acts. Would go from 300-3k then settle down.

Today I have not been able to enter act 6 mud flats without it immediately spiking to 3k then ramping to 20+ before I DC.

California server usually, tried multiple even EU, I'm in Canada.
