Hey there,

For the past month or so I've been getting incredibly unstable pings. Connecting to the game League of Legends my pings vary from 150ms to 230ms. There is no pattern at all. It is completely random and happens 24/7.

As you can see on the first 2 its timing out before the global gateway connection.



I noticed the high hec errors.

All of those websites are international. You won't squeeze more than 5Mb/s out of international transit on any plan. I'm surprised you managed 2Mb/s. Pings are pretty high though.

Let us know how it goes with another provider.
