Cool Ideas Fibre ISP – Feedback Thread 2

[Seeyou]

@PBCool I'm curious how this new routing works. Since you seem to have to manually engineer correct routing paths, what happens with stuff like gaming servers? If a game randomly picks a server in the EU, isn't there a chance we could get routed via the US?

Yup looks good now.

For future reference if I find more routes that use New York instead of EU should I continue to bring up here or wait for you guys to finish your engineering?

I've got this concern too. I play a game called "Hell let loose" in my spare time and I've noticed that in the server browser it says I get 141 ping to the London servers but when I actually join the game I get 210-230. Now I need to do more research but I've never known a game to add as much as 70ms in processing time. I suspect there is some routing issue going on.

That's my concern too. Games like Apex shunt you to different servers based on matchmaking. I'm also wondering how this affects games that utilise P2P between the players, who are obviously going to be in different countries.

The answer is yes and no, routing should take the shortest path to the destination. It's just a bit more complicated than that. We are making some changes that should resolve most of these in the near future.

Speaking about routing, can anybody check if Path of Exile London is working correctly? I used to get 144ms to the London server but now it is around the 160ms mark (with the login screen stating 220ms when it used to list 144ms). Openserve CPT, server IP is 87.117.239.130. Ping to it is also over 160ms, when it used to be 143 or so.

I get 141ms ping to it, on Octotel CPT.

Yeah on OS to the UK used to be 160 for me here in PE - it is now always over 170 - 180

@PBCool Requesting IP's to engineer seems like a game of whack-a-mole, many EU based systems are now being routed via the US, adding more than 100ms. After these changes xbox live gaming is almost impossible to use for me. I cannot provide you with IP's of users i get matched aganist. My servers in the EU used to be around 160ms now 290ms

Ok based on the above, Openserve CPT routing might be a bit buggered? @PBCool should I log a case for this? My results used to match the above.

@Seeyou It looks like your suspicion was right. I found a free sec to investigate my Hell Let Loose ping issue.

Here's what the in game browser says my ping is for the server:


Here's what my actual in game ping is when connect to said server:


So I busted out resource manager to find the IP of the server I'm connecting to so I can find what route I'm taking to get to it.


And finally the MTR to that IP:

Sadly as you can see by NYC its being routed through the US. I don't know why the server browser is exempt from this route but its a good example of the potential mess that this new routing could cause. I mean I'm lucky that this is a server based game, I have no idea what its going to do to p2p or ping based matchmaking games.

@PBCool I really hope you guys have a cunning plan to fix this because it could cause major issues.

Thanks turning up a new cable has some complications. We are resolving this as quick as we can.

My results are all over the place. They all start at 10000+ then drop.

@PBCool can you look at this for me please

 

[StevenC]

@PBCool I have been notified that fibre is installed into the complex where I am staying (Southern Suburbs, Cape Town) and should be finalized within the coming week (finally). I am signing up on Day 1 (as any sane person would).
Lightspeed are apparently the installers (who will do the building installation) and the provider is DFA - but it will be open access so I have freedom in selecting my ISP. On the CISP website, I see that the pricing is for specific areas. Would this affect me signing up with CISP? If not, can I get pricing that is available for the aforementioned setup?

 

[Pho3nix]

Any idea how to escalate my Fibre been down?
Only been a day but as I work from home in part, it’s making my life increasingly difficult as well as expensive.
