Ping Lowering Services

[Toralii 0]

Hi there!

 

I live in Australia,  and the servers are located in France.

This means i have a ping of 310-350+ (Which means people not on the NBN will get 350+)

We've had to deal with this kind of lag (normally sit's around 230 for US East coast tho) since the dawn of the internet, and tho it's something we adapt too, if we can improve on it slightly it is generally worth it.

 

I have tried the following and got these results:

 

Pingzapper - Does not engage the tunnel.
WTFast - Engages, but ping ends up higher, instead of lower, despite it trying to say my ping was 380 prior when testing shows 312 without and 320 with.
Battleping - Does not engage the tunnel.

Before i go searching for others - i thought i'd make this post and hopefully get some feedback / recommendations from other people that are using one for the same reason as myself.

 

So..

 

What works for you? 

How much does it reduce your ping?

How stable is it? (does it go down often, do the servers crash or reset? etc)

 

Thank you for your help and advice :D

Was just going post about those kind of programs , but I see that you spotted the WTFast "amazing graph" ;) Not that they are all BS , cause VPNs can improve your latency , but some have very "inventive" ways to show the % increase ( and try to pretend it's more than it actually is ).

If you can improve your routing , a VPN will improve the connection , but if your ISP already has the best routing , little can be improved :/

Honestly I mainly used those services to play Region-locked games ( Hi KR/JP/CH and some RU games ) and they have either maintained my latency or increased it by a little. So I never used them to "lower" my ping :/

I hope someone that is currently using them can find a method of making other options work , since you know what your doing ( you spotted the WTFASTlolgraph ) I'm sure you will detect any improvements.
Maybe other Aussies can share their latency and solutions for it.

Good luck.
