SWTOR Bad latency during prime time Red Eclipse Europe (Telia)
Greetings all,
I didn't want to bother with this before but I returned to SWTOR to see that Telia issues during prime time in Europe, Red Eclipse server, aren't fixed yet (especially during weekends, in other time servers are half-empty so no latency issues).
2013 I switched my apartments, before that my internet provider I was tunneled thru Telia to SWTOR servers, it was bad from time to time, but not as bad as nowdays. In Octobre 2016 I left SWTOR, because I came back to my old apartment and saw there is still lot of problems with Telia, I wasn't the only one, other people on server from different countries who been tunneling thru Telia had similar issues for years now. I left but now I resubscribed (even with doubts). During the day it is ok, but during prime time, especially weekends when there is normal population on servers, because nowdays servers are half empty, latency going from 100-400, and usual latency was 50-90.
I will post all tracert logs at the bottom, I did logs yesterday and before you tell me to contact my internet provider, or check my firewall, or open ports, lets analyse something.
I did several IP tracert for swtor servers, official IP that was given long time on forums and IPs I got from internet monitor on my computer when I was connected to swtor ingame direct IP of servers(farm) I was connected to.
SWTOR server was around 100-400. Then I logged into WoW, who is also routing thru Telia, and there was latency 30-50, so I did a tracert.
SWTOR and WOW Telia routing logs, showed that I was tunneling thru some same servers, I did WOW tracert only twice.
SWTOR:
106 ms 105 ms 105 ms bpt-b4-link.telia.net [213.248.82.157]
WOW:
13 ms 13 ms 12 ms bpt-b4-link.telia.net [213.248.82.157]
Could you please contact SWTOR support or anyone who may be doing networking job at Austin and ask them if they could see with Telia to fix this problem already, this is old problem, there was a thread years back on swtor forums, where one CM actually replied and they contacted Telia for those problems, from replies I read, back then, problem should be solved, sadly at that time I was in my new apartment and I was routed thru Level3, wich was mostly good, expect for Dublin wich knew to make problems from time to time.
