High ping only in the evening

    Hi everyone,


    I came here because I'm hoping someone knows something that could help me or at least explain whats happening to me. I have pretty good internet and I always had a good connection to Tera servers, never really went above 50 ping and my usual ping is 30. But lately (last 2-3 weeks) I've been having ping jumps to anywhere from 200 to 8000 and this only ever happens in the evening. So for example I can play all day at 30 ping and come 7-8pm I get 2-3k ping and I literally can't do anything.


    Now this wouldn't be so bad if I could just play in the mornings/early afternoon, but I work and by the time I get home and have dinner my only playing hours are 7-10pm and then I can't play.


    I've called my ISP and they say everything is fine, that I even have above average internet.


    Does anyone have similar experience? And possible reasons for this?

    I don't have any uploads, torrents or anyone leeching on my wifi. My internet works perfectly everywhere else, when I log to another MMO I have 30 ping as usual. It's just Tera and it's just in the evening and it's every single day lately ;( Any info/help would be greatly appreciated.

    I understand that. But I never had problems before, and I always played at peak hours? And why are all my friends fine and this is happening to me? How is system deciding who to punish and who will be ok?


    Why can't they get better server then. And what the hell will happen when they merge killian with mystel if they don't upgrade server quality :/

    If it's happening to you only, then it's your issue, maybe your ISP changed something, different routing, congestion during peak times.

    Pretty much that.


    Few weeks a year everyone having Orange as their ISP on western Europe essentially gets cucked by this shit french company. Basically ping spikes and random disconnects around the times you mention. Unplayable. Aparia LUL


    It just disappears after few weeks, happens again few months later. Repeat.


    Choose a better ISP or wait until problems are gone.

    Is it only in tera?

    There can be connection issues from your connection to the server.

    Sry my english is to bad but theres basically a thing where your internet and other in your region connect and go to gf servers. The one in my region was down/having issues so I was routed on other ways and had that high ping issue.


    Don't know if that could be the problem.


    Have a look on your package loss etc aswell so you can see if it is a problem on your side. If so I would call the provider.

    :stick:

    use winmtr/pingplotter to trace the hop that causes issues (if they are not masked or have delayed response).

    also you can check vpn ip to check such as pingzapper that has their ip on their main webpage. also most vpn have free trial so u can test as well.
