What's your network statistics?
I play on X-box and these are my network statistics. They seem fairly decent. So it's just bothersome to be plagued by tick rates and netcode on what should be a good game. I really hope the company ...

@Biochemikas no, actually I'm from Singapore and the server is in Singapore. Go from 1 end to another end of the country should not take more than 40 minutes.
Yup, download/upload speed does not matter in online gaming. 1 Mbps is enough.
How close you are to the server is the deciding factor. That's why it's called latency instead of "speed".

Well obviously you don't measure speed in seconds (or ms). We could calculate the speed though. E.g., my ping to New York is ~100 ms. Back and forth distance to NY is ~14k km. For simplicity, let's assume there are absolutely no delays in hubs and server and all 100 ms is spent just travelling. That results in signal travel speed of 140 km/ms, which is ~47% of speed of light. And if you remember that this is including all the stops in hubs and server, we're really damn close to the physical limitations of communication (speed of light). XD
@BiochemikasSpeed of light (not actual but the widely used) is 300k m/s not 140km/ms... cause that would mean 140k km/s (without using the 47% obviously) ;0 unless my tired brain is doing some weird math
Speed of light is 3*10^8 m/s = 300 000 km/s = 300 km/ms.
140/300 = 0.47
P.S. The wires and air are not vacuum, but I'm just using speed of light in vacuum for simplicity, it's also rounded up to the 1st digit.
