WACS died briefly in Cape Town last night, we are still awaiting feedback from the carrier. JHB didn't seem to be affected.

So got Jacques on site checking the line regarding the poor international upload performance. Appointment was for 11am and he was here at 11am. Impressive.

I'm in Bloemfontein, hence the extra delay on my side. I had a feeling you guys in Cpt will have lower latency. Still, 120ms for me is still more than playable games wise :)

Only problem is there are few, if any game servers (that i know of) that are hosted in fortaleza. Most of the servers are in sao paulo which is +44ms~ and therefore its identical to the ping we get to london. Such a shame really, i would love to play with 96ms on international servers.

Bah, you're right. I tried out PUBG mobile last night, thinking that I would see a lower latency with the South America, but yeah.. no dice. Still had a 350ms latency.

I had a similar experience with fortnite, but i did manage to get on sao paulo servers with 140ms when i selected squads. The routing still needs to be updated/changed for it to use sacs on all the aws servers, right now only some of them do.

Twitch has been better than ever for me since cisp sorted out their routing through SACS and started drawing from the rio twitch servers. Even with low latency mode. For games at least now we have an alternative to EU even if the ping is the same. Choice here can only be a good thing.

Now we wait for the next undersea cable to be built :D
