    The best part about 300+ is getting killed outside the red and called a bad player for being in the red.

    Yes I've had them issues, will be well out of the red and then just fall over dead lol or weapon swap doesn't go to plan and just end up firing caltrops twice in a row :trollface:

    I reckon the best part about 300+ Ping is all the people with 50 ping telling you it's easy to weave and to Git Gud then complain when their ping hits 120.

    That or getting killed by 20 hits in 1 seconds in cyrodi from a single player.

    May the divines help you if any of us ever move closer to the server. Although you would have a little bit of time as we get used to skills actually firing immediately :wink:

    Telstra nbn ( no speed boost thinking of getting it though)
    26.27mbps right now
    Ping generally 200 to 400 just depends ( very occasionally I might get 180 and I get excited)
    Got cable connection with NBN.
    I never got flawless, but once on a magical day I had constant decent - not perfect but as close as you get type run and got 504 004 on my stamblade in VMA. So I'm not entirely rubbish - that was nice to know.

    Looking through this, some of the various ISPs are about as I would expect. Routing with the current Akamai DDOS protection from mid last year now sends many ISPs off up to an Akamai node in Asia. Exceptions are Telstra, ISP/RSPs that use Telstra Wholesale for international transit, and maybe a few other small spots from people based on the east coast I've seen. Depending on routes, this will likely add anywhere from 50-150ms.

    Those of us that route up to Asia will likely see improvements with one of the ping VPNs.

    Traceroute to the ESO NA IP 198.20.198.110 can tell you which route you're taking.

    250 - 400 is normal when I play.

    Any Aussie base server is about 50 ms in a number of games. But the high ping doesn't bother me in ESO.

    Bandwidth vs speed of light basically. You have a pipeline x wide but stuff can only go through it so fast.

    When I was living with my parents.
    IP: Optus Cable
    Supposedly, it was with the speed booster. But I only got like 260-285 with jumps to low 300s sometime as well. I was in a house with 3 other people.

    Now that I have moved out and live with just my girlfriend.
    IP: Telstra Cable
    I'm now getting 235-240 with jumps to 270ish.
    It's a lot better now. Not NA level good but still lol.

    Can't remember test results for my new connection. I'll add some more info after I get the chance :)

    So I've been canvassing a bunch of ISP that's get good recommendations on reddit and whirlpool asking for their trace route and average ping info to the game server. So far only one has responded (Skymesh - well a few have responded but told me they can't provide that information) but these numbers look like they would greatly improve my native (non vpn) latency. Now I understand this has been done from the exchange servers and I will have to allow for the added latency between my router and those servers but I can't imagine it being any more than 15 - 20??

    When I do a trace route from my current router it gets to the third hop of deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com with a ping of 187 and times out there after, I'm guessing this may have something to do with akamai's DOS protection? Pinging the US's servers ip from the router though returns a pretty consistent result of 287.

    What's everyone's best guess, would switching the above ISP render a better in game experience?

    This is nothing to do with ISP's but rather the trunk line and the fact out data is travelling halfway around the world. Latency is referring to the time there and back again (not by Bilbo Baggins).

    Whether you are on ADSL or NBN I am yet to see any Aussie with a Latency of less than 250ms and most of us average 280-330ms at least in my multiple guilds.

    It creates an unfair advantage to players in US etc. For example in Craglorn, I am at a piece of Wood / Ore / Silk and actually harvesting and then someone comes up and manages to take it instead.

    Due to the latency issues, PvP is simply unplayable for a Sorcerer.

    I have tried mudfish on the odd occasion and it has got my ping as low as 240, but i find the 1000+ spikes happen a lot more with mudfish active.
