Hi fr0st,

For the past few weeks, I've been getting high latency on the server. The problem then started to become worse since the 25th of December, where I'm getting an unusual 620ms+ ping. It doesn't appear to be a problem with my internet connection because I'm getting a stable ping (for me!) in other servers.

(The three servers with 640ms ping are hosted under your services.)

I'm usually still able to play with 640ms.. but it became unplayable since I got this issue. I'd get stuck in the black screen whenever I log into my character, which is caused by desyncs.

I contacted my ISP yesterday regarding this issue and said that their systems are running fine and were unable to help me.

I already made a guess that this is an isolated issue and I don't know what to do, so help pls.

For the record:
The usual ping I get in the server: 400ms-550ms
The lowest ping I can get: 295ms
The highest ping I can get.. that's still playable: 825ms

Looking forward for your response, fr0st.

I downloaded The Interview through torrent. Is it North Korea that's blocking me from accessing the server? :Kappa:

One of your ISP's peers (CoreSite) is having some connectivity issues between 202.78.110.250 (rDNS Serial-P2P-110.250.IAS.bti.net.ph) and 206.72.210.214 (rDNS any2ix.coresite.com) as you can see from your traceroute.

I've submitted a report with your traceroute and other appropriate information to CoreSite Corp.

They may or may not respond or fix the issue silently, it may be anywhere from 1 hour to 7 days before it's resolved. If you're impatient, grab yourself a VPN to alter your routing thereby bypassing the peer with the issue. Note the closer your VPN server is to you the lower latency it will get you overall.

Math:
Your ping to the VPN server + The VPN servers ping to our server = Total ping.
I.E: VPN server is in Russia, our server is in France, your ping to the VPN server is 250, the ping between the VPN server and our server is ~30. 250 + 30 = ~280 total give or take. This is an example, it can be worse or better depending on overhead, encryption, favorable routing, etc.

I'll reply here if CoreSite answers..

Guess I'll use a VPN for a while. :detective:

Really appreciate your help. Thanks, fr0st! :thumbup:
