Cool Ideas bought Mind the Speed

Can you post a trace for me at all?
It seems to have been resolved at around 14:00. I have contacted support earlier, maybe they fixed something. Maybe it resolved itself. Thanks

Cool, currently the network is a bit of a blend, if you are still on a MTS IP then it may still be MTS network. If you are on a CISP IP obviously its via ours.
 
"Anyone else seeing issues with YouTube? Have had customers now complaining about stream quality dropping and shorts buffering"

This is from the Zanog group so seems something relative to YouTube earlier.
 
Why is AWS so bad? Tried playing apex legends who started using AWS, getting 200+ms to EU, they only have one EU server which is EU central, only use AWS had was when there was a low latency route to middle east in fortnite, it's been gone for months now. Even fortnite on EU with AWS sucks most of the time, very unreliable.

Fortnite now mainly use Microsoft Azure that is why it's so trash btw.

How long have they been using Azure? They have IP's to trace on their site and they are still AWS

EDIT: Using exitlag I can see game server, still looks like AWS to EU for me at least, and also didn't mean to post this here on the MTS thingy my bad

You can try use the UK VPN to bypass.

Yep I messed with it a bit, definitely works, was just curious on why AWS is like that, I have exitlag as well which is amazing, allowing me to play Singapore and brazil, but I stick to middle east
 
So mind the speed has some useful data usage monitoring including the ability to see the current up/down usage.

I was with cool ideas before and I remember them not offering anything similar back then. Now that we're able to login to the cool ideas portal it looks as if they still don't have anything?
Ctrl+shift+esc and you can see network usage in realtime. Fair enough, can't gauge long-term usage. Hardly matters though.
 
Ah okay makes sense, I don't really play EU fortnite luckily, I stick with exitlag/middle east. I remember Halo Infinite when it launched, I believe it uses Azure and can confirm the experience was definitely something lol. You'd think these big tech's would do it right
They are doing it right because it works well enough for rest of world. They don't care about a small region that is far from everything.

If the Cool Ideas pricng is less than the MTS pricing, will that be moved immediately instead of in a year's time?

(My 50/50 Openserve is R785 on MTS pricing, while the Cool Ideas pricing seems to be R784) (unless Cool Ideas is also doing the deceptive thing that some ISP allegedly do of advertising one price and the increasing the price once you are signed up (while still advertising a lower price to new subscribers))
