Hi,

 

Have had some pretty poor connectivity to the Australian Diablo 3 server over the last couple of days. Ping ranges from normal to 700-800ms.. I normally get around 40-70ms.. I did a tracert which returned..

 

I'm no network dude, so thought would post here and see if anyone could advise issues with the route or if known issue to Aus exist ? Suspicious of the 111ms @ hop 10..

 

Posted here as am on Spark UFB, and didn't see a better group.. Thanks Chris.

 

 

 

Tracing route to 103.4.115.248 over a maximum of 30 hops

That's a prefect traceroute and there is nothing abnormal with it. Lots of intermediate hops will often have high latency due to ICMP being deprioritised - the fact the final hop doesn't show a spike demonstrates this.

I guess thats why I asked, I dont understand how the results should be. Thanks for the reply.

A friend and I have recently been having intermittent problems with Overwatch on our Spark connections. It looks to vary from game to game so I guess it's an issue with their servers but it's odd because it only seems to affect us and not Australians.

Played a few matches tonight and didnt have a single issue...

 

 

 

are you sure it's not when they reboot the servers for updates? australian ones always take ages to come back up so you end up on USWest normally...

I haven't had the issue since the weekend, but when I do it's always with syd2.

mhm hard to comment then apart from honestly say i haven't noticed - I'm quite bothered by latency personally but more so jitter or packetloss.
