Also, many laggers are being welcomed, I'm not the only one complaining about it. Snipers/ MG/ and pop maps are the worst servers with lag right now. Also

Like always, just saying "MY PING HAS RISEN HALP!!!" is very unhelpful. Tracert Tracert Tracert.

I decided to do some traceroutes from the server.

My latency used to be 70-85 (scoreboard) and with net_graph 1 90-100. Now, it's 127-160 (scoreboard) and with net_graph 1 140-170. I reset my modem/router, and still the same. Also, I'm not the only one.

Just to chime in a little, latency usually idles around the mid 80's, sometimes dips to the 70's and today it was a constant 100-115. Made sure all of my network-based processes were terminated, so I assume the issue is server side.

Might be a congestion problem with Comcast and our providers transit, seems to have cleared up now.

Looks like a Comcast problem to me.

Again, server are lagging..

[Matt]

Probably an attack, I can't check right now.

And some servers are crashing or choking, maybe you need to transfer to another host?

[Matt]

We host our own servers.

   

As you can see by the graph there was an attack of roughly 600Mbps.

Most game server hosts will struggle to host a full 48 slot server. Plus moving hosts will cause us to loose the server IP's which is never a good thing when hosting game servers.

Getting around 150 ping (about 70+ what I use to get). Please take a look at these again.
