High latency Fttb compared to old fttn

[Tn_1888]

Hello, is there a way to reduce or be comparable to Telstra fttn’s latency of 5-6ms latency compared to current TPG fttb’s 15-17ms?

Thanks

Hi @Tn_1888,

That number of ping should not affect your internet speed or download however, if the number of ping gets to an alarming rate (reaches up to a hundred or more), then that can affect your internet experience even if the download speed remains the same. It could be you're connecting to a server that's geographically too far away to facilitate low latency, or possibly, has something to do with a game’s netcode.

Alternatively, it could be local considerations, such as how much bandwidth is being used, or potential interference on a wi-fi network. 

Let us know should you require further assistance.

Hi yes I was hoping to reduce the ping for gaming, online it fluctuates a little bit and causes it to become uncompetitive. Is there no way to reduce this?

Hi @Tn_1888, are you getting a fairly high ping rate? Is it  just the game that's affected? What about other internet activities? (i.e. browsing, streaming)
