That could be the solution, though the router I use is only a year or two old, and I can't replace it because it isn't mine. Either way, online gaming has never been something I was especially into, and my outstandingly slow wireless connection to my PS3 seems fast enough to play EDF 2025 online and is perfectly usable for GT6 in some circumstances, I'm looking forward to cruising on Zahara De La Sierra when it finally shows up.
Fair enough, I didn't realise the filling of Aus lobbies was in this state, I don't race online particularly often, and when I do I bring lag with me wherever I go
Hence why I generally waft around cruise lobbies all over the world, I can't enter a serious race without ruining people's days until the NBN comes.
Anyway, as food for thought, perhaps naming the room "AUS/NZ only please" rather than something more like "**** OFF NON-AUSSIES" would give the world community a better impression of Australia? You don't want people thinking we're all Pauline Hanson.
... Ill check mine
Damn mine is slow! In fact I have checked recently and it's below the Malaysian average (and only slightly above typical Indian speeds). I've been trying to figure out exactly what is causing it for ages, my current guesses are that I live too far away from the local ADSL node (in which case everyone on the main road I live on would have the same issues, so I don't think that's the case, and that the long wiring from my modem, through walls to laptop is crappy copper wire, and is slowing everything down, though my wireless speeds are even worse!
It's an odd issue, it would have made perfect sense 10 years ago because of PAL/NTSC differences, but that is irrelevant now. One explanation is that there's nowhere else to put Australia, it obviously doesn't fit with North and South America, so we're left with either Europe or Asia. Asia is closer, but fitting us with Europe has always been the standard solution (since we are more closely related to Europe than Asia, and as stated by Squanto a few posts down, it's fairly efficient for EU and AU to share a server). Alternatively there could be a separate Australia region altogether in GT Online but I don't know if that would be feasible.
Well, you can find out just by clicking this button.
I would love to find someone with a connection worse than me so I can feel good about myself.
) issues and I'll do the test soon. Thanks for the link @SnakeOfBacon.
but we race clean and when something important a short text usually does the job. I have a decent internet connection and haven't really noticed major lag issues joining rooms from Brazil, Canada, or UK either.
