I have noticed recently (in the last 6 weeks or so), bad latency to Sydney (where many game servers are hosted..). I was previously getting around 30ms on fiber. Typically 3 to Auckland from Hamilton.. etc.

 

Can people post some tracert's to the following Amazon host to see what you are getting? 54.252.183.4

 

Tracing route to ec2-54-252-183-4.ap-southeast-2.compute.amazonaws.com [54.252.183.4]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

I had another friend do this from the trustpower network within a few minutes of mine, and he is getting speeds that match latency many weeks back.

Be interested to see what other slingshot customers are getting.

Thought it fair to note that my tests are not consistent. I mentioned poor latency for around 6 weeks, but that may very well be peak traffic times and intermittent. I haven't done any tests to validate that... 

 

I also just thought to do another test which was much faster a few hours later. Might do a few more at different times of the night and see if its just a random thing.

It's likely to affect peak times only.

 

 

Many ISPs have separate peering links for Australian traffic unfortunately sometimes these run hot depending on internet traffic patterns.
