210ms from South Africa but have a delay between skills of near 1 second

[SoulEcho]

Ever since the server move a few of us South Africans on Odin server have been experiencing weird bursts of lag, the game will run fun then pause for half a second or so then burst with speed.

i checked my resource monitor and i am running at 210ms, yet it feels otherwise.

this started since the server move.

A little hard to follow since the formatting was lost, but looks like you are loosing packets before Frankfurt. Likely are also getting larger spikes too. Big spikes can also cause out of order delivery and trigger retransmits as well. So you may be getting tripped up be the TCP/IP protocol's error correction scheme kicking in...trying to get the packets delivered in proper order is basically causing the data stream to sort of pause, rewind a bit, and playback. It causes a lot of jerky rubberbanding like that.

Look into your ISP's support options to see if you can get this data to their tier3 support. They sometimes refer to it as an engineering department. Hopefully they have a forum or an email contact that you can just submit it through. They should be the first line of defense for clearing congested routing at that point in your route. It is their routing policies determining that pathing.
