Up until recently my connection from New Zealand to the Oceania server was about 55-65ms with 9-11 hops. It is now 15-16 hops and around 180-200ms.
I have trace the route and once I hit Australia where the Oceania server is located I get pushed onto Japan??? Hence my ping.
I have contacted my ISP but they say as the ISP doing the redirecting is not one of theirs it is out of their hands.
I read somewhere the company providing the Oceania links had changed due to weekend crashs, is anyone else facing the same issues I am?
Anyone have any suggestions, I am already on a fast cable connection in NZ so no upgrade opition there. It is crazy to be routed through japan to connect to an Australian server which is the closest country to NZ as well.
Maybe Mythic needs to sort out the Australian links/server provider, I know it can be done as I faced this problem a few years ago when links were changed for whatever reason.
Anyone know who else I can contact about this?? I have been with UO for years and I hate to be pushed out due to bad lag
