Consistent High Ping

Hello GGG staff,
Since i finished my semester at Uni i wanted to play some races but to my shock the Australian gateway is always above 300 ping. I tried to race and my experience was horrible so i quit after the first race and i assumed that my ISP had a small issue in my area so i waited for the next day. I still had 300+ ping the next day so i assumed the problem would take longer to solve. Come 4 days later and my ping is still the same. I ran WinMTR and found that the issue is further down the line.

I want this issue to be resolved before the new league starts so you guys can get paid by my shallow but generous pockets via supporter packs.
What can i do to resolve this issue?
Thanks.
While your latency isn't great in general right here:

| 203-219-155-67.tpgi.com.au - 0 | 18 | 18 | 46 | 53 | 97 | 49 |
| as36351.melbourne.pipenetworks.com - 0 | 18 | 18 | 343 | 350 | 378 | 347 |

That's where the problem happens. Notice how the numbers for best worst and average response times make huge leaps?

Could you run a much longer tests. 18 isn't enough to get a complete picture. Try letting it run 500 cycles or more.

Cheers!

Ok, sorry and yes, i noticed the Melbourne line is most likely the cause.
I will post a longer duration of the ping test.

Edit:
here you go.

bump :/
Still the same problem dude:

these three hops just before the handover to GGGs service provider are the part of the trace where your lag kicks in. In the space of those 3 hops the average latency jumps almost 300ms.

Nothing GGG can do with this one. I'd recommend doing a trace to the Singapore gateway to see if those hops are avoided, or maybe try using a VPN to get around them.

Otherwise you're stuck having a moan at your ISP, they might be experiencing high loads or something, but that's not really an excuse for providing service not consistent with what you're paying them for.

Massive thanks to GGG for producing such a fun and engaging game, it has taken up faaaaaaar too much of my life over the last 5 years.

Best of luck in the future!
Alright thanks.
I just wanted to make sure that this was a problem that was specifically related to my ISP.
Well, looks like i gotta call India up and ask some questions/let them know about the situation.
