Routing to Runescape going to Chicago

Runescape connectivity appears to have started going via Chicago as part of a known routing issue with Level3. Issue started recently (within 2 ?months?).

Initial findings show routing changes on or around the start of February. Connectivity to Level3 was 'updated' around that time and Shaw can see routing changes.

draapefjes‌ - If you have a traceroute to Runescape (8.26.41.203), that would be very helpful. We will begin conversations with Level3 and discuss a work around to resolve this issue for Shaw customers until a final agreement can be made with Level3 on why this issue is occurring and how to resolve it permanently.

Can you do me a favour and do that trace again / test your game.

We've implemented a temporary work around to get you back to gaming until we have a formal conversation with Level3 so I'd like to ensure you're back up and running as expected.

Looks like it works!! That was extremely fast, I didn't expect that. Thanks so much for the expedient help! My ping is back down in the 50's on the game, like it used to be  now i can't use lag as an excuse when i die on bosses haha

Excellent, glad you were up and gaming again for the weekend!

I'll close off this thread, but please create a new thread and feel free to tag me if you have any more issues in the future. Shaw will have a discussion with Level3 to have this re-routed permanently but these types of conversations can take time so we will leave the temporary workaround in place until that happens.

Happy Gaming!
