I'm used to lag issues, I'm one of the pathetic 56kers that's just chugging along. Sometimes it's tolerable, sometimes it's not, but the last few nights it's been consistently intolerable. Even in situations where I don't feel like I should be lagging too much it bogs down something awful with ping rates in the 5000's at times. I expect this to happen when I meet up with the zerg, but not in the more minor battles. For some reason that last few nights have seemed a lot worse to me though.
Today I was talking with a friend at work who also plays, and he has high speed. Without my mentioning it he said that the last few nights he has been getting hit with horrific lag, often having commands go through 10 seconds or so after he hits a button. I was just wondering if anybody else has experienced the same issues, or if perhaps it's a regional thing that we're experiencing. I'm dreaming up conspiracy theories in my head of them lessening their pipeline to save some cash.
