A question to European players, especially those in the UK.
Hi guys often when I play on p1999 I am experiencing high latency. Sometimes 1100 ish ms. My internet connection is a decent one, I am just wondering is this solely because I am based in London, or is there anything else I can do to change this?

It shouldn't be that high, on a good day I'm on about 200, sometimes when the server is busy it tends to go up to ~400-450.
Are you playing on wireless and at a fair distance from the router? If so, try plugging an ethernet cable in, or even buying a 20 metre one if nobody objects to you running it along the wall [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

I occasionally play while in France and a good day is about 150-200 ms. I've also played from Birmingham a handful of times and seem to recall ~200 ms.

Has it always been that high or just recently? When was the last time you reset the router? Clutching at straws but an old router I had was famed for literally stopping for about 1-2 seconds and carrying on, piece of crap...and a reset used to (seemingly) help it behave [You must be logged in to view images.

It seems totally random! It was fine today but the last couple of days before its been awful. I will try restarting router each time I log on and see if that has an effect. Thanks again[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

For what it's worth I get an average of 180-200ms from the Czech Republic which
Is expected for transatlantic latency. When I was in the United States it was around 60s or so.

Uk here too, mine averages around 140.
Start by removing your router from the equation. | ||

Check your hops to p99 servers via 'MTR', it's basically traceroute but has some additional features.
