Trying not to jinx it, there are some regions behaving weird but not as many, most seem to have reverted to normal, occasional "jumps" in crossing sims come up but for the most things.. seem settled for now at least. Here's hoping things stay .

Today was different for me, I logged on and the ping was normal, back to normal. Everything seemed good, really good, made a few teleports out, visited other places expecting that this was going to be a fluke and that the ping would revert back to 400 but; Nope everything was fine, there I was thinking; almost a week and it's been resolved but then... the rolling restarts happen and what happens when I return... back to 350-400ms.

" At the moment currently my home region is wavering between 516 and 616ms, I wasn't really doing anything, so I visited the region next door for comparison and it's... ridiculous; 166-183 strong and consistent. Literally right next door is a normal measurement. Actually I just tried either side to my region; folling a Linden road and both adjacent regions have a normal ping, so I'm going to keeping until I encounter a bad one.

Kinda curious on what's been causing it, since wednesday it happened and yet before that there were seemingly no issues going on. I noted that in the mornings it seems less affected ping-wise around 200 but by early afternoon the ping rises until it's around 400. And how will it it take to resolve the issue.

I used the Azure latency link; showed me getting between 165-180 ping, so as normal. Have still been looking through various empty regions; most are in the 400-600 ping range, only a handful seem to be behaving normally.

Hi, I just tried your ping time checker and all I'm getting is a 404 page. I tried searching for the test and found it; average ping is 276, though originally it was at 416 but as seconds went by it started to rapidly reduce.

Well, it's strange fluctating continues. It's been like an awkward game of minesweeper but in reverse; which regions aren't affected over which are. I logged in to a ping of 449, went to a neighboring region, same response, went to the other side and the ping was 184-200, the one after this was 300-350, following this it was back to 450-519; so the average. Not all regions stay the same I've noted, at differing times of day the ping will reduce almost back to normal, other times one region large unaffected becomes overloaded. The experience in moving your avatar through it feels sluggish; like you're pushing a very full shopping trolley around. No packet loss just random high ping. Resetting router did nothing to ease things. It's strange that three days ago everything was fine everywhere and now each day has become a struggle. It's been putting me off of going anywhere because of how difficult it is to move. Edit: to add just now whilst standing in my empty home region the ping has been climbing.. to now at times 649. I visited the nearby region with a lower ping and it's still 183-200.

In the last hour my home region actually reduced down to 166, so I really thought that things were settling but looking again now and it's fluctuating wbetween 383 and 400. So something is going on, if it were consistent with all regions that is understandable but some regions are largely unaffected whereas others are not. Doesn't matter upon the population in the region either, earlier I walked into a region boasting 30 or more people in it and the range of ping sim was 183 to 217 whereas a neighboring region that had 1 person it was between 399 and 450.

Ok, this is weird- I just swapped to an alt. Logged into my home parcel and the issue I have with my main doesn't seem as present- the ping is normal, average. How is that possible?

I noticed this a day ago and have been concerned. I live on one of the mainland continents and although the rumors are; the mainland always lags. This is is not the case. From the UK too so my ping is usually between 166 and 183, however I have noticed recently since wednesday that most regions have an average of 400, sometimes fluctating as high as 600. Today as an experiment I went for a walk through zindra just down the road noticing the various pings of corresponding regions as I entered them. So far 8 regions that had the usual ping ping of 166-183. The Others were all within 399-449. My home Parcel has been fluctating a lot from as low as 216 to 500. I spoke to a friend about this; she said that she too has been experiencing similar issues of elevated ping activity , she believes the issue is down to AWS, something has gone awry in its network.
