Starhub Singapore, Singtel, MyRepublic - Lots of Spikey World delay

Is there going to be an update from blizzard side? Playing with VPN is not a long term solution…

232

Considering every SE-Asian ISP listed here ends up going via Singapore (which is where WinMTR logs have been showing the packet loss) to the Australian servers… who’s really in the wrong here, “bucko”?

233

Hey all,

We made some routing adjustments recently and are looking to see how well it worked for everybody. Can you all turn off your VPNs and see how things are going without? If the spikes are still there, let’s get a WinMTR which catches it and a looking glass so we can look for more options.

I played many hours yesterday trying to get WinMTR if lag happened. It was a smooth day for me on Singtel. The ping in-game was stable at around 147ms. So, no ping capture from me.

Edit: no vpn used.

235

yesterday about 3 hours, no VPN.
Smooth running on OCE server, home/world about 140~180.
Highest hit is about ~200 which occurred during EBG; IOC. Slight lag.

Can’t do looking glass for OCE realms i believe, there isnt a Barthilas. Home latency is at 165ms.

Think you need to contact Singtel for this case. There is clearly a routing problem. way before the connection reach Blizzard servers.

If you pay attention, the lag spike happens immediately at the node 202.84.140.37.
This is questionable because you are already connecting via Telstraglobal routing but for some reason it routes to 202.84.140.37 and then back to Telstraglobal again…

Even though we are on diff ISP, the nodes / routing partner we are connecting through are similar but your case clearly needs intervention from Singtel.

240

So envy. I wish I could get this back on Singtel. The last time I got 90ms was over 6 months ago.

241

If you want to, you can post your MTR and i can help you take a look at it.
Chances are, there is a legitimate routing problem on Singtel’s side and in that case, only Singtel can help you out.

Starhub and some other ISP like myrepublic seems to be routing correctly while Singtel users seems to have weird and questionable routing path taken based on some of the MTR posted.

The general rule is that if you already have high latency/ping before the connection reaches Blizzard servers, its not really something Blizzard can help you with.

Same here, never remembered getting 90ms on starhub ever before though…

243

Finally. I see improvements today. last time my home ms=150 and world ms=170 usually. Then few days ago spiked to 8k for 2 to 3 days. Now home ms only 90ms and world ms around 110. Big improvements for me. Blizz did the re-routing helps but if it was done earlier would have been better. Below is my MTR report.

This issue seems to have cleared up now, it would be great if we could get some sort of response from the blues clarifying what actually happened.

Considering this has happened multiple times now. Would be great to know what the problem was and what is being done to ensure that we dont all miss out on almost a week of our subscriptions again in the future.

248

Yes, please clear this up and help us understand.

249

There was an issue with the way that your connections were being routed to our servers, causing you to take an inefficient path to the servers in Australia. It looks to be resolved at this point. If you are having further issues with abnormally high latency, this is likely an individual issue. Please create your own thread in this case.
