Quake Live: Singapore servers

[HellSlyne]

Quakers,

I can see some Singapore servers up. But ping is still bad for me...~350. Is it supposed to be so or do I need to fix my connection...

Regards,
Sajit

A ping of 350 to Singapore servers??? You should be getting something around 125ms or so ideally.
Something with your connection or ISP routing definately!

i'm getting 65

 

[baccilus]

I am getting around 125. Ashr plays really well. He was the best player in that server while I was the worst :-(

How do I fix it then...Alias? Port forwarding?
I'll be there...ping good or not

BTW You can all post your IDs here...mine HellSlyne

 

[ashr]

you can't fix your ping. it's your ISP's routing. nothing you can do about it except maybe talk to them and see if they'll help you out but that's highly unlikely.

mine's _ashr (with an underscore)

murdasajan on quake live.

When do you guys plan to get fragging?

 

[ashr]

what ISP are you on? give them this IP address 202.156.3.171:27961 and try telling them that your ping to this is currently 350 and you'd require it to be around 50 because you want to play games. that IP is a quake 3 IP but it doesn't matter.

although, i really really doubt you're going to get anywhere with this. most ISP people won't even know what you're talking about and even if they do, getting them to redo your routing is highly unlikely. only option would be to change ISP if you really want better pings.

Is there any way to add favorite servers in this game? And can we select servers by Ping? I don't like the game browser in this game. It always hooks me up in 300+ ping servers.

^click customize and choose servers in your vicinity. it should show you the best pings. it shows me all the Singapore servers when i do that.

also, if you know you get good pings to Singapore, simply customize to show only SG servers.

@sajitsm, how about it? any luck with your ping?
