why zayo is awful and why savvis is better, and why they need to switch back
what the title says...
i live in texas and have perfect wired gigabit internet. my connection to all games is flawless, i have 0 loss on all games, except now, my connection to TERA is [filtered]. why? because of zayo.
when we had savvis, my average ping was 45-50... which is average for a dallas tx connection to a chicago server. now am i getting 75-80 average ping, which is [filtered]. if there are routing issues to only just texas then [filtered] fix it but for now, zayo is trash and has lag spikes too. pls fix or pls switch.

You can say that the change from Savis to Sayo is afecting many players but that change is better for even more players.
People were talking about this problem months ago, and they were met with a few sensible responses, a bunch of gaslighting, and a few people telling them to change their internet service provider. Attempts at fixing the issue (countless news announcements saying they were working on a fix to server instability) ignored the core problem, possibly because they really can't do much about it, and so it persists to this day. I don't see it much anymore, either because the problem's finally been put to bed somewhat (though your post indicates otherwise, but this weekend was laggy for just about everyone) or because I simply don't play as much as I used to.
Sadly for You that's not the case, the move from Savis to Sayo is thinking about most of players so sorry you thinking you and a hand full of ppl are most of the players is too daring.
You can't say that 1>2, maths don't work that way ^^
That's also wrong, routing is up to the ISP users and their providers, it's like stating that Youtube has to change their servers becuase a lot of ppl stream slower than those whos trace route is optimal and better.
Sorry but you got it all wrong about it.
Want to improve your routing then try a VPN, that could help you a little.
70ms is playable ping even in PvP.
Even 180 stable ms are playable in most PvP and PvE content.
The problem is when your ISP, your modem, your PC, your routing are not working properly and ppl thinks that the solution is complaining to the game's staff instead to using tools to improve their conection and routing.
There's literally nothing we can do user-end to improve our connection through Zayo. We can't choose NOT to route through there when EME is forcing us to. Talking to our ISP isn't going to do anything at all - there's nothing they can do about an awful host.
And saying Zayo is better for most people? Naw. Zayo is better for SEA/AU, and that's pretty much it. There's a rare few people out of those regions that don't suffer when Zayo is active, but most do. And seeing how this is NA TERA...well, they shouldn't be making it unplayable for NA players entirely. I don't know anyone from NA that gets better with Zayo, but I've seen a few of them on the forums from 6 months back when this same [filtered] was still going on.
They could try to find a different routing service altogether that isn't either of these; there isn't only two. Maybe a different one wouldn't lag either region. But for some reason, they feel it's necessary to keep switching between them and making part of their playerbase lag like crazy every few weeks, just to make the other part of the playerbase lag when they switch back. You're not fixing anything by doing this, EME. It's like they think it'll magically stabilize at some point if they switch enough.
Everyone complaining that they(the player) have no power to fix it, they can with a vpn. Try one out.
Yeah, the solution to EME screwing us over is to pay a subscription for a free game on top of the free game's subscription.
...yeah, okay. I have 40-60 ping when it's stable. I shouldn't have to use a VPN to not get lagspikes to 1-2k ping.
Pray tell how we can magically fix this. I'm pretty sure if it was fixable without paying for a VPN, people would've found the answer 8 months ago.
EME's office is located in Seattle. The servers are physically located in Chicago.
if you needed any proof of how [filtered] awful the routing is for zayo.............. here you go, literally 50 percent better with wtfast
