Packet Delay on multiple hops to game servers.

[MJ1955]

Hello there, New EE customer here!

While i'm very happy with the Speeds, Loaded latency and Unloaded latency i've been suffering with a lot of Packet Delay to multiple game servers. I'm no stranger to seeing this issue being a 25+ years veteran of competitive online FPS games, but sadly this issue is making certain games unplayable. Being 0.5 - 1 second behind real-time is just no good.
I'm hoping there is a solution at hand! Usually from my experience the "hops" causing the problem cannot handle the amount of data going through them, hence it "chokes" causing the delay.
Possible re-routing could be a solution?

Thanks for reading!
MJ.

Which BB product do you have? Which router do you have?

Updating this thread with more data gathered. It seems it's always the same few culprits causing the trouble, (213.121.98.145) - (212.187.166.149 lag-107.ear3.London2.Level3.net) and (4.69.143.194 ae2.3204.ear2.London2.level3.net).

Hopefully this can be investigated further and not become lost in the void.

Much appreciated, MJ.

Oh and PS :
