doesn't seem like ptcl to me. btw do you have any sort of explanation as to why the packet first goes to worldcall then connect?
Theek tau hai ping. The only explanation for your connection first going to WC and then connect is that connect is using WC in your area as BW provider and then connect's hop (both on a local private network) and then multinet -> TW

Thank the anonymous PTCL person for this, if and when he leaves PTCL, we can say bye-bye to these sort of fixes.

@StikerX ping on EU W went back to 330 today.
Eidi from PTCL, congrats!

Change ISP


Its happening because of how Valve gets us to connect to their servers (we don't directly get connected to the servers), valve utilizes packet proxies and some of them are in Frankfurt and when one gets connected to the Frankfurt one, we get 300+ ping so yeah!

My ping is the same as before 180~. Dunno if that's because I'm on FAST or just lucky. Can't play anyways because I broke my mouse(Razer Deathadder) and all the shops are closed till the 10th. That's the last time I'm buying a Razer product. I bought a mechanical keyboard of theirs and a couple of the alphabet keys just stopped working after a few months...

Nah, that just means you're not getting connected to the frankfurt proxy which is what should happen and in some cases, which are unlikely but do happen, you're connected to frankfurt proxy and voila! 300ms+

ptcl acting up again, getting unstable ping on eu w in dota 2, paragon and BF1, lingers around 600 for quite a while only to settle back to 180 for a few seconds in between, any news? @StrikerX

Well I understand that this is a DOTA thread but still I wanted to share my problem regarding pings in Battlefield.. They are very random, the best I get are 190 on German servers and 145 on Singapore's servers but most of the times they are as high as 280-300 which is very annoying. I have to restart the router several times to get them under 200. I think PTCL can never ever fix there sh*tty routing

P.S Zong 4G is the way to go. Get <200ms on all european servers consistently.

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
