    Late Reply but yeah. I have no official source but a good friend I know that lives in Portugal said the system will go directly to NA instead of through UK first. It brought my attention cause ik of the PoP you have now in that region

    @PBCool I was wondering for the Future, now that you guys have a direct POP in Lisbon. When they eventually route/path to NA, would the UK route or Lisbon one be the new default? I know there’s a system in place for Lisbon to route to there but it’s again just a 20ms difference I’d guess doing...

    People legitimately do in fact move locations because of latency I’m not kidding. Especially for playerbases and activity sake. Most games it’s always the NA East server that’s most populated. When LoL came out there was communities living in 1 central ‘house’ in Virginia just to have no ping...

    No no no.. moving countries is not just like flipping on equipment. It’s the most difficult task to get an American passport, trust me. I’ve been to Miami.. and let me tell you it took months and finding your feet in another country? Well let’s just say that’ll take over a decade. Compared to...

    Also this I just forgot to respond, SAFE is causing disasterous problems atm. No more consistent low latency to Singapore, and lots of packet loss often. It’s just time to let it go, it’s causing more harm then good atm.

    It’s a massive issue for ISPs to run these systems. I was in Seapoint a couple months ago renting an apartment for a couple weeks and there was SACS being picked up, couldn’t really remember the provider but exactly same issue as Vox. It was only good to Brazil, the rest was a disaster. New...

    1gbps wasn’t enough for me unfortunately.. too many files I upload for the company I work for remotely(Fujitsu) who unfortunately pulled out SA so remotely working for them is the only option now. And not to mention all the assets I need for business to actually kickstart properly. Let’s just...

    The Tekken community is very large in SA believe it or not.. that 90ms to Brazil comes in clutch for some people. I mean the payouts for Tekken tourneys is insane. You win one and in this country.. you’re set for life. Can easily go live in Clifton

    Eventually though there is a benefit that Dark Fiber has. Return on investment once you reach a certain level of contract agreement like I did. I chose a very high speed.. 5gbps. So we calculated for the long term that in the end I’d be saving. Let’s say I keep it for 5 years I’m saving about...

    Tekken also still uses p2p.. and their is international tournaments hosted often. The threshold being 200ms else you cannot play.

    Nice thing about p2p tho is you don’t have to worry about forced routing thankfully. All the low latency paths are picked. So I can freely play any time of day depending on the time. Asia peak hours, EU peak Hours, NA peak hours

    Well that falls out the equation once the game is p2p strictly. Cause then you have no control on who you connect to.

    I do run my own business now.. a lot of assets from the time my Uncle was the country manager of IBM in the early 2000s So I figured why not go all in? I’m 24(which is very old to start a company and in general) so I’m kind of playing catch up

    I don’t play locally all the time. I play with every single region, hence open matchmaking lobbies. You only really want that super low latency if you’re doing actual Esports gaming.
