30 snaps

1000/30 = 33.333

Average pings on servers is 31, 33, or 35

Coinsidence?

Edit:

In ET, usually people have around 48 ping on scoreboard, even if you it shows as 16 anywhere else:D

In ET, most servers use sv_fps 20, 20 snaps.
1000/20 = 50.

almost the same with most of the UT games, i had like 80 scoreboard and ~30 cmd prompt ping :)

stop complaining about 35 ping imo

35ms? Really? Are you seriously complaining about having a 35ms ping to a server? Why don't you move here to Michigan and try playing on a server in Chicago that I would normally have a 30ms ping to and then all of a sudden around 9pm have it go to 95-100ms ping. You're almost as bad as a Swede who's forced to "deal with" a 10ms ping...

Yes, I seriously live in the 21st century and I want to have the ping I used to have 3 fucking years ago in a 9 year old game.

The routings suck, fix it, don't get used to shit.

Routing is something that neither I nor you can control. So unless you're complaining to your ISP then don't come crying here about it. I know all about bad routing. I live in America, we're masters of making dodecahedrons with our routing tables and its retarded and pisses me off every time. I still can't do anything about it though.

I ping 15 on all servers located near me in OSP/CPMA, I ping 35-40 to all servers near me in QL. Something is wrong with QL servers, not my trouble.

why not? as he said, it's 2009. we should have lower pings.

So go bitch to whoever controls how the routing goes. If you guys find a way to get people to change how things are routed, let me know. Until then, I don't wanna hear anything about how something sub-60ms is unacceptable.

comment #1 explained why.

fun fact:
in 2003 (iirc) when i got my first broadband connection i had 19ms to gameservers at night time. now, even with fiber optic connection, i have more than double.

the isps are too "megabit"-hungry to sort the routing is my wild guess! i'm no expert though.

I'm sure that's part of it. No one cares about latency when you can shove more data through the pipe except the people that need the quickness in the connection and not necessarily the bandwidth (e.g. gamers). Like I said, go verbally rape your ISP, you'll get no sympathy from me.

they only say its outside their system (and usually they're right). i get about 5ms to malmö and from there it goes apeshit to nl.

thanks denmark.

Well there ya go.

but what if i can get 10ms then? since halfway i got 5ms :P

It's not about the megabits. It's about money (surprise surprise). It's cheaper to route traffic through several smaller nodes to get to the destination than to pay big bucks for a direct connection to internet exchange points in countries like Germany (F-IX) or to NL (ams-ix) or to UK( LINX). That's why the routing usually sucks in smaller (and poorer) countries and also countries which are too big (like USA).

thats one of the best post i've seen this year, very informative.

i bow to you, sir.

try not living in a 3rd world country, usfag

Try dealing with our retarded congressmen and ISPs, swedefag

your broadband infrastructure is pretty shit, as you said yourself in your first post :(

going off topic wont solve this DEBATE OF THE INTERNETS

Congressmen and ISPs are very related to this topic of WHY the US infrastructure is shit. Get a clue before telling me to get on topic.

ohh i misread sorry

try not voting for the religious parties

Try understanding capitalistic cutthroats.

Try something other than copypasta you unoriginal bastard.

I'd still like to know why I ping 76 to servers in Stockholm, when I ping 10ish with cpma.

Fix the routing/change host, id?

same shit here >:(

SHUT UP

Polish emos not allowed on my threads.

You got your ztn already, you don't get to bitch for at least 6 months.

Not until I get my ping sorted too.

did you just look at the scoreboard or did you also try cl_shownet 3 and look what it says about your ping?

Swings between 32 and 40.

cl_shownet 3 shows ping 16-24 @ QL. Same in CPMA :)

You must be the only one having the right ping.

Jesus christ i wish i had ever had a ping of 15 living in the uk!

Consider myself f'in lucky if i get less than 40 :/
