The "Are You Lagging?" Thread

Post by Koma »

First, some standards:

When you reply to this thread, please run a few tests on Speedtest.net first.

You need 5 target points to get data from:
  1. Your Closest Location
  2. Tampa Bay, Florida, USA
  3. Dallas, Texas, USA
  4. Chicago, Illinois, USA
  5. Los Angeles, California, USA
Save the "ms" ping values from each of those and list those in your response. We are trying to pinpoint where a majority of the lag is coming from and where would be the best place to move to accomodate all of our players as well. As it stands right now, there is high lag not to our server alone, but to the region where the server is.

I'll start this post off though with my *current* details and some data from various datacenters across the world:

1. Lynnwood, WA: 7ms
2. Tampa Bay, FL: 275ms <-- Highest and is actually where the server is currently located.
3. Dallas, TX: 63ms
4. Chicago, IL: 70ms
5. Los Angeles, CA: 40ms
Data from CogentCo's Looking Glass: This data is the direct speed from each of Cogent's datacenters directly to our server's IP address.
