Best VPN for Play?

Hi,

I have latencies on this game and only this game.
I think this just my internet provider and let me know what you think is the best VPN for playing POE?

I thought https://www.expressvpn.com/ when do you?

ExpressVPN looks decent, a few more choices:
PureVPN, IPVanish, Private Internet Access, VyprVPN

Why are you thinking about a VPN? Is there something wrong with your connection to the PoE servers? Would you want this VPN for any other reasons, such as IP privacy and DDoS protection? It may be easier to solve the connection issue than pay for something you wouldn't fully use or could do without. Please give us a MTR report, and tell us whether you'll be traveling, or need this VPN for watching blocked YT or whatever.
You would still have latencies if it's an early node or the VPN travels the same route.

And a different route might result in a worse Ping.
it's just to play POE

You're using wifi? The initial ping to the router is rather high for a wired connection, but normal for wifi.

From hop 1 to hop 2 you have a real problem. This is what you're seeing in the game, and no VPN will fix it.

You should definitely call your ISP and have them help you diagnose this problem. It could be anything from the cable modem to your ISP's local office.

You may think you don't have latency in other games, but your trace shows that it's there. Other games can handle latency differently because they either trust the client (your computer) more, or they have a much more predictable game (like with attacks based on a %hit stat instead of accurate hitboxes), or they just don't need responsiveness.
I used CPL (PLC in english?)

I pass by another operator, and no particular worries.
Nothing has changed , at home as well as installing computer.
So this is really why I thought a VPN could correct the problems .
With this operator , it is virtually impossible to make them understand that I have concerns with games and all other work perfectly .. Even the types of FPS games.
It will probably be easier if you type in your native language.

What is CPL/PLC? Is that a wireless network?
Power-line communication or Power Line Carrier

You are talking about latency and how it MIGHT be the same in other games but Nafelic doesn't notice because they handle it differently? Wouldn't the easiest way to check this out to ping a server you can be sure is fast?

Windows-Key + R
type "cmd"
enter
"ping google.de"
enter

At least you know now "for sure" what you COULD have for a ping in your network (well... if google.de isn't down).
It's much more effective to user tracert than ping.

But in his case it's using a PLC, the advertised transfer rate is a theoretical maximum, the realistic transfer rate is about 1/3 to 1/4.
