For quite a while I've had a very poor connection, especially to minecraft servers (the only multiplayer gaming I do, actually).
My normal ping as shown by minecraft has been 2-3 thousand ms. As much as 3 seconds.
MC updated to 1.4.2 before the recent storm, and I played on the server, experiencing the same connection quality.
I connected to the server for the first time after the storm yesterday, and... ping was back to normal, mostly under 200.
Don't jump yet.
The software, MC1.4.2, that I was using before has NOT changed.
OK, thinks me... either they fixed the line, or being turned off for 4 days straight allowed things to reset, and I'm connecting through a non-busted bit of hardware now.
I have access to other servers. There's one that hasn't updated to 1.4.2, so I need to break out the alternate MC folder with the right version. I hop on that one. Ping 2900+. Carp. Back to the other one, ping 193.
So, WTF?
