Increased Latency in game July 9th (9am)

I have no idea what is happening but my ping is 12 normally yesterday it was 80 .
I live a 2 hour drive from Toronto. ALL I can say is that difference is pretty pathetic especially when the servers are suppose to be 4-6 hops from my destination.On my 28/1 connection -
UPDATE: If I mask my IP with a Canadian VPN, the server doesn't know I'm from England and I get decent STABLE ping which doesn't change per room. I'm not sure if it was a deliberate action against British people to point them in the direction of the UK servers (I hope not, since now it's my only option to play in echo) But I hope it's just something to do with the routing of the servers. I guess the IP Changer goes the right route to the server (since the VPN is in Montreal) I was getting really TERRIBLE ping which was turned into decent when I'm connected to the VPN, still getting higher than what I should get since VPN'S add to your ping and make it less stable which is why It isn't fixed completely. Now at least I'm not having the server problems (The server problems are gone, that's why my ping went down and doesn't change per room. VPN'S add extra ping so by fixing the server problems with the VPN it also adds extra ping to what I should be getting, which makes it a half fix.) Now I'm only having to deal with the VPN problems (Higher ping and not perfectly stable) but at least it's lower and closer to what my ping should be 107-109 ping.

gm saidin tell me only one thing:
why is my ping now higher ? Im playing since 2009 on uk server and i had always ping of 29-30. But NOW, after you have moved the server to germany(near location for me) it increased. Now i have a ping of 43. I dont get it. And no, i dont have net connection problems, no provider problems etc.
tell me this. -
This doesn't explain the ping increase for the UK-Servers. If they moved to Germany the pings of the germans should be lowered. My ping went from 15-16 to 22. I have no problem with that really, but others had troble cuz they started to spike from a stable 30 to 80-120.

We know exactly what some of the issues are, but we are under a policy that does not allow me to reveal exact technical details.
This is not uncommon in the industry.
We have a scheduled maintenance coming up in July, we expect to make the necessary changes at that time. And from that, we're hoping that it will help the latency problems. But the internet is a pretty non linear entity. We can make changes here and there but they may or may not work. They may work for one person and not for another.
In either case, your opinion has been heard, in multiple threads now.
ANOTHER MAINTENENCE?!?!? I hope this doesn't make things even worse than they were before :P
Of course unless its the July patch ;D -

as far as i know: the servers never have been moved to germany.
what happend to us Germans is, our MAIN internet provider (telekom) just increased our net from 1.0mb upload to 2.0mb upload. thats why we german guys got better pings now
wtf, now from where do u know this ? You know what i think ? they moved the server to croatia or bosnia & herzogiwa.
