Anyone else having bad lag problems?

I was going to try and level up a CL/FO sorceress on battenet but seriously.... this lag is getting really annoying, a lot of times I can be walking... it will lag... and then my character will bolt 90 mph across the screen I guess to make up for the delay or whatever.... does anyone know of a way to make bnet lag less for them or is this a universal problem thats probably not going to be fixed?

I just don't want to waste my time on battlenet if there is no solution to the lag.
 
Re: Anyone else having bad lag problems?

From what country and on what realm are you playing?

I'm on Europe and lags were quite scarce for me for a long time. Might be problem with your connection/PC.

Sometimes I have that as well, but it happens to the monsters. It can be pretty unpleasant if not deadly when Lister and his friends catch up 10 seconds within 0.5 seconds. I normally leave the game immediately if something dangerous is about to come.

HC = insta S&A
SC = Depends on what char and who's around when it happens.

I actually have a decent DSL connection, I am in the United States and I play on USEast, I am in Florida so :P... i just reformatted my computer too.... -.-... so far not really any change i can see in battlenet lag...

I am behind a router, although this wasn't a problem before on bnet, should I open certain ports to reduce lag or would the ports only be an issue if I could not connect period?

It can be bad at times, not sure why either. I'm connected via hi-speed and for some reason I've noticed it happening when I get home from work in the afternoon. Not sure if it's everyone in my area dying to look at their FB, Twit, Mysp, or whatever. I know we have multiple providers in our area but it's strange.

yeah..... don't get me wrong, the benefits of playing online are awesome, but they are kinda nullified when the lag is constant

I've been getting it more frequently lately. Nothing like on my old PC but it's definately been a problem of late.
