LemonSqueeza Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I have been having serious issues connecting internationally over last 2 days, especially voip through singapore. is anyone else having problems? All speedtests i do show brilliant throughput, almost as fast as to local servers, but once i hit singapore on tracert, it all goes to hell/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shariq607 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 same here, you are not alone but the difference is that for me it started 4-6 days ago and although the pings are crazy high to Singapore i can see that even pings to other countries is affected but not in the magnitude or range of Singapore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LemonSqueeza Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 hmm, it can be fine one minute then unusable the next. strange and annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adweb00 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) What providers are you guys using? I know for a fact T.O.T is throttling all international data at not only peak times but other weird times as well!! So will be fine. 1 second and the next it can turn to garbage. Speed tests will show internal country speeds change the servers and will show up. All I.S.P's do it they make more cash but most offer accounts with no restrictions!!

muratremix Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 My pings to singapore is still 100 ms. TIG Singapore link still gives 215-220 ms ping. 9 216 ms 215 ms 214 ms TIG-Net242-41.trueintergateway.com [113.21.242.41] 10 221 ms 221 ms 219 ms SG-ICR-GS2-26-50.trueintergateway.com [122.144.26.50] It probably means those routers are overloaded and unable to respond ICMP ping in time. Thats why I get this at the last stop: 13 102 ms 104 ms 103 ms ovz-02.oneasiahost.com [116.251.208.250] Overloaded True singapore link routers may be the cause of shitty shitty voip for the last 6-7 days.

Makhao Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I use EarthVPN to manipulate the routing. Its a normal provider for VPN services, but with 87 locations all over the world to choose as your VPN server and you can switch any time to another one. Usually my route from Phangan to Europe goes over Los Angeles, what is fine as Asia-USA-Europe is better than Asia-Europe (although I think, its crazy). But in case the routing takes different ways I choose LA as my VPN Server and force to route to go over LA. Of course the bottle neck leaving Thailand is still there, but sometimes it seems a big difference, in what direction you leave Thailand :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bardwellpark Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Has this been fixed? because my ping to WoW EU servers has been 400-500ms for the past 2 weeks and i guessed it had something to do with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomatopo Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 CAT are telling some business customers that their issues with an undersea cable will be resolved on/before 7 Nov. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shariq607 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Ping is not stable at all, its so bad at the moment that pinging Google DNS servers 8.8.8.8 results in pings more than 200 ms ATM. Before used to be under 30ms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcisco Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Pings to the 8.8.8.8 address are not a reliable indicator of the performance of anything other than link local and to 8.8.8.8 as that host is geo routed. Better to choose a host where you know its location and connectivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
