how to lower the ping from Europe

[RaMaR]

Hello forum/devs,
the discrepancy between US and Europe ping is quite noticeable, the former around 40ms and the latter 140ms.
Is there any way to lower the European latency? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Move to America., or Canada [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Could also try contacting your ISP about bad hops. just a thought.
But your traceroute looks about as good as you'll get from Italy.

Alternatively you could convince everyone on earth to upgrade to high speed fiber internet. Then a better netcode could be used/developed for low latency across the world.
But don't expect that to happen as we've been using the same netcode for like.. 20 years now.

And inb4 someone suggest a vpn/proxy game service. Which will only help if the route to the service and then the route to the server is faster than your route to the server.

You could move closer to NJ.
