Playing PUBG, when playing on SEA servers, I have a considerably higher ping (220ms) compared to friends in the same city (CHCH) but are on different Internet Providers.

I have a trace route

Tracing route to 74.201.102.172 over a maximum of 30 hops

Have called Vodafone multiple times with promises of call backs etc etc but no word on the cause.

Anyone able to she light or have similar experiences?
