Re: Is vpn allowed on apex

@Rastigani 

I only added the router as it could be that, not saying it is that.

My bet would be on Telekom because they always like to push the blame. 

I spent 4 hours at a residence with a Telkom tech one time trying to fix a phone line connection and they kept on saying it was the internal line that had the problem and not them. After exhausting all options on the site with no solution the Telekom Tech went to the nearest main trunk line connection off site 300 meters down the road and found out the issue was with their Trunk line. 

Irrespective of what service provider one has in Germany once the internet connection leaves the building it connects with Telekom's main trunk lines, Telkom is the sole owner of all of the main lines in Germany. This goes back to when Telekom had the sole monopoly on Telecommunications in Germany until it was broken up and other ISP/Telephone providers could provide services yet Telekom still owns all of the main trunk lines.  

EA's servers are not the best and we all know that. EA could and should do better here.

However in Germany we are at the mercy of Deutsche-Telekom.

@Asmodeus566 even if telekom owns all the main lines, doesnt change anything. other ISPs can get a stable connection to the EA server so its not about the lines where the problem is. its some contract or whatever and it comes down to money, like it always is. and EA is paying probably a fraction for the connection using talia or others thanfor the connection to other ISPs... so i dont think thats only on telekom, no...
but it doesnt matter anyways, we had this problem for 5 years or something, its not gonna change, we are screwed, both telekom and EA do not care at all.

so basically only play at night or at times where not so many people are playing or buy a vpn for 100€ or something, + router to set it up on xbox etc etc. i dont know what i would have to do to get a vpn running on xbox and i dont care, for the state of apex right now i dont give another € to EA or to anyone just to play apex)

so to end this, yes vpn is allowed and even necessary to play at times....
