TATA Communications - the reason we're lagging

[Tiggy]

It is SE's issue to deal with. It's their network protocol that is unable to handle the internet. The issue is not that people are getting some pack loss or jitter spikes, it's that SE's game is unable to deal with those very common internet issues. This is also why people are not seeing problems with other games, they deal with it properly.

It comes down to this: Either SE fixes it, or people who are affected by this are going to stop paying them money. It's up to SE to decide what the cost benefit analysis for that is.

You clearly don't understand how the internet works. It's a massive series of pipelines with all the data passing through routers to move all the internet traffic around. All it takes is 1 router to route data incorrectly or to be overloaded for a large swath of the internet to have issues. This is specifically obvious in cases such as this one. Most traffic must pass through node A to reach a ARR. However node A isn't working correctly. It is now perceived that the service is faulty when in fact it was the node the entire time. It has absolutely nothing what-so-ever to do with SE's network protocol or the server protocol used. It is entirely due to that faulty node. Once the node is repaired normal functionality will return. It may be argued that Square should take up the mantle and confront the company that owns this router in order to achieve a resolution, but that doesn't explicitly make it their fault either.

BLAME SE!!!!1!

You clearly don't understand how the internet works.

I don't think he knows how life works.

"Theres a problem, i can't fix it... BETTER BLAME SOMEONE!"

And i understand SE should really come out and say something so that people understand that user connections to their server isn't a cup phone with a string attached from their modem to their datacenters. Thats the only thing i hold SE accountable for. Not communicating why this problem exists, even though im sure their working on their side so that they have a definitive answer because people will unsub because of these problems. Not knowing its not entirely SE's fault.

But the problem here is that they have to obtain a definitive answer since they just can't say "Blame your ISP for your horrible internet."

There are also a couple threads where some guy explains the problem in detail showing his own Tracerts, outlining that TATA (whatever that is) is the middle man possibly causing these issues.
