The map has changed my location before. Sure fire way of knowing somethings fucked up. When that happens I reset everything. Even my net.
Just hit up Freeblades or Freeztey. Always looking for games.
Online and matchmaking is great for me. I get 5 bar matches every 20-30 seconds and the matches are smooth 90% of the time. Oh, and my internet is pretty mediocre too.
Matchmaking is fine in that I get matches quickly. The connections vary, though. Usually terrible despite setting it 5 bars only, but there are times where it feels flawless. Ranked is weird.

My connections are usually pretty decent. I blacklisted everyone that has a consistently bad connection against me. Life is too short to play laggy fighting games.
Thanks. I’ll definitely try a reset.

GGs! I have to bail cuz my friends are wanting me to come play your favorite game PUBG
Comes right in at Perth.
Does this mean I’ll be able to destroy Froztey other than just bi-annual trips to Scotland?
Don’t get me excited Gam, I’ve caught you lying before.
High level Birdie vs Ibuki match up

This is great to hear, my brother. We are the Illuminati. We relish in fast matches, usually solid connections and fed grapes.
Yeah my toaster can get games in Ultra Bronze Jin.

All of those providers are certifiably terrible.
Right now the only ISP in Australia that pays close attention to capacity clipping is a smaller company named ‘Aussie Broadband’ though its presence in some cities is limited, assuming it is available at all.
Your next bext option for optimal play is sharing the same ISP so the traffic routes remain caged local to your state, but even that can be a crapshoot due to the way many have expanded over the past few years by way of acquisitions and mergers into other networks. On top of that you also have the whole east/west divide which creates unavoidable latency due to the sheer distance involved.
Fun fact: Two of the country’s largest data centers are three and six blocks from my place. For titles that use dedicated servers for network play, many of them are housed at either, or both of these DCs resulting in consistent 6~7ms pings being typical for my suburb which is nice. With SFV however, the onus is on my opponent’s connection to not be terrible due to the (mostly) peered nature of how this game works. This reveals just how horrific some people’s connections are - many of which can quite literally be chalked up to the unholy combination of wireless connectivity + shared houses/internet connections to questionable routes and cabling jobs rife with noise, jitter and packetloss.
To say this country has Internet connection quality behind many third world nations is an understatement. There is a small ray of hope however with the telecommunications ombudsman starting to get involved in complaints with ISPs who willingly short-change their CVC purchasing to deliver on the bandwidth/throughput they sell customers. I have called on this TWICE this year and had my issues resolved relatively quickly. It’s creating quite a stir and I hope more people call these theives on their bullshit.
Funnily enough, there is an emerging trend among the unwashed masses in larger centres around migrating to ‘fast’ 5G connections (where throughput is all they give a shit about) which in turn may see an easing up on traditional wired networks and providers with respect to latency. I’m personally hoping such an exodus gains traction as it will give the country a much needed spread across connectivity options, reducing congestion.
Not holding my breath however.
Eloquent as always. I imagine you puffing on a pipe sipping a small dram of whiskey after each paragraph ( typed on a typewriter).
Dime it turns out gets his shit rerouted whilst I don’t. I’m Telstra. I’m not sure if the rerouting actually helps with people from those places or just makes it double bad.
NBN is due in my suburb in March. Was pretty fucking excited when I found out. I’ll make warlord level easy against these copper wire turds. Mark my words.

My dick was hard for almost a minute. But then I realized that’s a 6000 mile cable just to get to Africa and play against mutubu… going to be another 3k miles or whatever to play London. Shortest route to Europe is still basically around the moon and back, no thank you.

Who is your ISP, flaccid?
For you and kiltsman to have iffy connections between one another suggests the routes between your ISPs are a fucking shambles and you possibly use completely different exchanges. I’ve found when that is the case in this country, you might as well be in different states.
ye internet is bad
I have literal best possible internet that can be provided in my town
still not amazing :sad:
We do. Dimes goes through Sydney, then through Devil Jins house then gets to me.

Pretty much. Though it’s not necessarily a problem for me because I seem to connect to the eastern states pretty well. As an example my connection to you, the few games we’ve played was one of the best connections I’ve experienced. My connection basically routes to Sydney then back to Perth. So when me and highland play it’s a coast to coast to coast connection even though we are les than 30k from each other geographically. but still, our games are pretty playable most of the time. Sometimes we get great connections, sometimes they are terrible, usually they are middling. Like a true 3 bar experience. Anywho, no one really plays online in Perth anyways so having a good connect to Perth is w/e.
But my overwatch games and skullgirls games are great. 75 ping to Melbourne SG players and 75 ping in my overwatch games.
