I live in Adelaide, South Australia and my ISP is Superloop.
Since I started playing Overwatch a few years ago I’ve been connecting to the Sydney servers which was great. I’d occasionally connect to a Singaporean server or even a west-coast US server.
I’ve recently, in probably the past month or two, always find myself connecting to Singaporean servers and never to the Sydney servers which causes my game latencies to be higher. When connecting to Sydney I used to get a latency of around 40ms. When connecting to Singapore I get a latency of around 100-200ms.
I’ve included the traceroute for the Singaporean server to help troubleshoot. The other night I was spectating a friend (Perth based) in-game on the Sydney server (37.244.42.19:26517) so I’ve included a traceroute log for that too.
Traceroute for gsg1.
