Over the last 24 hours I have suffered sever packet loss in SL. No other internet site or online game is affected. in-game packet loss ranges from 5% to 50%. Pinging www.secondlife.com is currently at 28% loss. Not everyone is having issues, but I know a signifigant muber of the people I asked are.

CODE

Ping statistics for 66.150.244.125:
    Packets: Sent = 50, Received = 36, Lost = 14 (28% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
    Minimum = 187ms, Maximum = 265ms, Average = 200ms



Is Linden Labs aware of this problem, and if so if there any ETA on a fix? At the current level of packet loss it's not even possible to chat, I can only use IMs.

Looks like your ISP is the issue, I am in NY here are my results:

After running enough traceroutes to get statisticly signifigant data... looks like the problem is on the trans-pacific crossing from Australia to the US. I blame resmods, the weekly stripend and age play because they are easy targets. :-)
