I get 32 ping to Chicago because I could drive there in less than 12 hours. And I get 85 ping to Texas, 110 to Seattle, 97 to Indianapolis, 65-70 in Ashburn, 100 to California, and 55 to dc. I have charter cable internet. It often goes out for 2 hours at a time( luckily it hasn't for about a month and a half.) Just thought about it Chicago is about 8 to 9 hours away from where I am.

I had Uverse. Left it cause of the horrible cross-continent latency. In California it was fine but outside it was awful.

Now I'm on Comcast which I'm happy to report is just as shitty as Uverse was.

Also, from the looks of that traceroute though you should complain to Savvis since the shitty routing is between their network and scnet (who the fuck is that?). They probably won't give two shits though.

i've complained to scnet.net forever, they never reply.

Probably nothing you can do about it then. Here's mine for comparison. Virtually the same.

Even the routing from my university is horrible.

lol...
(I don't mind playing on 70 ping, it;s just that I should get a lot lower... and I can't play properly on 100.)

Move to east coast and go pro.

move to eastern europe and go pro

Call and see if you can have interleaving removed from your DSL connection. I haven't been on AT&T in years but i remember it helped a bit.

nah it's not
my modem tells me if it's in interleaved mode

and considering the first few hops are low ping, that wouldn't be right

I get like 8 ms to google

sooooooo, basiclly you whine about 100ping to a server located across half of your continent?

smart

i have 90ms to DC and 110 in Chicago. I think muricans are allowed to be annoyed at shitty routing :x

and how much u ping to moscow?

65

fuck me thats some great routing

dutch internet op

my friend in NYC gets 76 ping to europe, and he gets 90 to west coast.

the distance from new york city to cali is about 2800 miles, and around 3700 to europe


he also gets 80 to chicago which is about a 2 hour flight.

id's servers are shit

Is it the same with all games tho?

just re-route yourself

I quit playing quake because of the routing using att uverse :(
