Re: PN new network

@st3 Have you been moved over yet? any improvements? I'm sitting at 10-11ms as it is but back on BT I used to get 7-8ms so I was hoping the switch to a dedicated wbmc would see those pings go back to what they used to be.

Re: PN new network

I'm on the new network now.

 

Talking about ping. Pings are very slightly lower, around 8-9ms now instead of 10-12ms that I was getting before, most noticeably though the routing seems to have been improved quite significantly, especially when you ping servers at an increasing distance. All of the EU traffic goes through BT's Faraday and through EU servers owned by them, from what I can tell.

Before I was getting about 50-55ms to Finland but now it's dropped to 39ms. About 37ms to Sweden and now 33ms. Anything closer like Netherlands, France, Germany have all pretty much stayed the same, 14ms for NL, 16ms for France and around 22ms for Germany. I was getting around 260ms to Japanese servers before but now it's dropped to 230ms.

 

One other thing I can report is that I don't have problems with YouTube or Twitch anymore. On YouTube I used to have issues buffering things any higher than 720p. Sometimes it would be fine but most of the time I could end up with videos just not even loading if I tried 1080p,1440p,4k etc. Now it's completely fine no matter what I pick and instantly starts playing with very little buffer. Twitch also has the same effect, there were a few ingest servers in the USA I had problems streaming video from when it came to certain streamers, now that's gone as well.

 

So far new network seems to be a big thumbs up, just hope it stays that way.

 

EDIT: For those wondering what I was pinging exactly, I went through and pinged various servers owned by privateinternetaccess. They all accept ICMP so you can ping all of their VPN servers that are in different countries. If you go on the support part of their website, they list all of the addresses for the servers.
