That's what our ping used to be 2-3 months back, they changed something and apparently no one has complained enough to get them to fix it.

Who changed what?

Vox changed the routing, my ping in Apex used to be 182 and then one day it went up to over 200.

Edit: Long before the cable break.

So you're in CPT on an interleaved DSL line?

Once Vumatel gives me fibre I will probably fly off into the distance and leave Vox behind and I was the biggest advocate of Vox, I've been with them for years and years and years, I want to say since 2014.

Any chance you'd be willing to share? Would be really nice for Rocket League to be playable again.

Every time he posts something I can tell he knows what's up but free installation from another ISP can't be overlooked.

Not sure, but my latency is well above 200ms whenever I try to play with friends in the UK. 224 up to 290... And I get that annoying warning message on the right of my screen.
