|
|
Hi, just start playing SWTOR and from my understanding I should be getting best speeds using west coast american servers. However, my ping is terrible. I have also tested it with speedtest.net and I am getting better pings (around 250ms to East coast then west coast. My pings to Europe are even better then west coast. What's going on?
I am with C&M internet on their internet + cable package. My ping at the moment ingame is 700+ and it's pretty painful to play.
Should I just look to move myself to an east coast server? |

iirc, that internet package is only a 10mb connection and they throttle it when connecting overseas.
get KT's basic DSL 100mb setup and you should ping under 200 which is playable. |

Just stay away from SK Telecom. Their ping is 450+ at the moment.
Korean internet is crap. It used to be great, but these days, if you want something outside of Korea, it's just throttled garbage. They're throttling everything to the point that I am finding my "unlimited" internet phone borderline useless in many places. |
