I have noticed the same problem since the last round of maintenance from LL in early October. =( I've been on SL for 3 years and NEVER had this type of issue --- I live in the U.S.A.... have a brand new Alienwarex51 PC -- and a strong cable connection. My lag meter keeps giving me this message: "Connection Ping Time is over 600 ms Possible bad connection or file sharing app." I read this explanation on a yahoo forumn about SL: "it depends on you location and second life's server location. When you connect/logon to second life, you could be connecting to a server in another country and theres really nothing else you can do to lower your lag." Makes sense to me.............and now it's time for LL to acknowledge the problem and FIX it!

I actually started noticing this issue around the first week in October, during the time LL was once again upgrading stuff - I'm still experiencing it at random times...very frustrating! I wonder if anyone from LL reads these forumns.
