Frequent disconnects/lag spikes

For the past few days I've been getting severe lag spikes lasting around a minute, usually kicking me off the moo. Whenever this is happening I can't connect to the website either. Don't think it's on my end since my internet's pretty normal otherwise.

This happening to anyone else?

If you can't connect to the website either, that's on the network between where our servers are and you are. I've been checking numbers, because one of our staff has noticed this issue as well. Things look green globally.
How do I fix. B(
If you are on Windows you can do "pathping sindome.org" from a command prompt to do a basic diagnosis of the connection path between your computer and the MOO. Make sure that you wait for it to Compute Statistics. You should see something like the output below.

Feel free to post the results here and I'll see if anything obvious stands out.

In my case, I think the 100% packet loss on the intermediate frontiernet.net routers are because Frontier decided that they do not need to expose ICMP to end users going across the core. They only care about the edge routers where they hand off to other carriers (in this case, hop 9 going to Equinix / AWS)

You can use traceroute play.sindome.org on a Mac. And I think Linux. It might be tracert. But if you're on linux you probably know this already.
Here's what it returned for me:

Johnny,

What do you think about waddle's traceroute?

To me, it doesn't look like whatever as11404.net is, is getting anywhere near AWS.

Though I do see that they have a peering point in Equinix Chicago, which is where my trace showed sindome being located. (https://www.peeringdb.com/asn/11404)

Waddle,

I would send that trace to your ISP's tech support team. Just tell them that you are getting intermittent disconnects into AWS. I'm not a legitimate network guy, but it looks like a route advertisement issue.

Are you on Wave Broadband? If not, it looks like your ISP is purchasing transit from them.

Waddle,

After taking a deeper look at it, I think the routing is fine.

Hop 8 is Amazon.

There's probably a bit of intermittent connectivity problems at hop 6 or 7. Just open a ticket with your ISP. They shouldn't need to know more than you are connecting to sindome.org on tcp/5555 and experiencing intermittent disconnects.

Hmm, can't seem to be able to log in on the webclient either.
