NA East server unplayable ping spikes and packet loss

The_Dad, on Oct 08 2015 - 17:14, said: I'm in western Quebec and have ping issues (350+ in garage) Wed and Thurs nights between 7 and 11 on the east server. The west server is usually around 105 so its better to play. I don't get it though... why Wed and Thurs nights for the last month? Another guy in my clan from New Brunswick has a similar issue but a third guy who is about 40 min drive from me has no issues at all using the same ISP. Is there an issue with the east server that effects only certain players/clients/OS systems etc?

I did see some issues the previous night and PingPlotter showed a local TimeWarner router bogging down like a TOG going up hill.  Of course there is a Level3 edge router between me and WG's network which is usually dropping packets.   As somebody who works on data networks for a living, I am shocked that the Internet works at all with all of the chewing gum and bailing wire in the infrastructure.   PingPlotter (available for free) or another similar network tool is the only real way to see where the issue lies. A server side game like WoT will be much more sensitive to lag.
