Hey all,
While this only affects some of us, I thought it may be worth posting it in here so someone at PN is aware of it as well.
I have been suffering a horrible lag/rubber-banding effect when I play Star Trek Online.
First thing in the morning (anytime up until around 14:00 GMT) it seems fine, but anything later than 16:00 and it's horribly laggy and just unplayable.
At first I suspected my ISP - but turns out that others in the game are having similar issues.
After throwing posts around on Cryptic's forums, it turns out it's not Cryptic's systems.
A tracert and pathping pinpoint the problem to something outside of PN, but I have heard that other ISPs are aware of the problem and have re-routed their traffic to avoid the troubled area, I'm not sure if PN can or will do this.
Just for completeness - here are my tracert and pathping results:
