Server providers for South-Africa

Another update after a few weeks, don't know if any mods read this thread anymore, but anyway. Psychz servers are still unplayable even this far into the league with a lot fewer people even using the servers. Azure server is fine of course. Here are some MTR's.

Psychz server:

Please fix GGG.
This is amazing!!! I am running on 10-12 ping! Thank you so much!!!
Now that the servers are more quiet it has been a lot of fun to play with a lower ping. This will be the first league that I'll hit level 100 (at the rate things are going). I hope there is a feasible plan on how to scale this for the amount of players that will make use of the South African gateway. I'm hoping this will eventually be a reality.

Thanks for the effort put into this.

Hi guys

I did a WinMTR test and it seems that everything is fine until it jumps to a hosting service called psychz-networks-za.

Experiencing major lag right this moment, 65% packet loss yikes!

EDIT: Actually, I don't think the issue is with Psychz, it's the JHB exchange.



Bumping this comment, as it may be important?!

I've not experienced any latency issues throughout the league (bar close to launch and some rubberbanding here and there).

Hey @Fitzy_GGG any Updates on the SA Server for the new league?
Any updates on fixing/dropping Psychz? I've been doing some leveling practice and the only lag problems are Psychz. It looks like there has been no improvement over the league since there are way less people playing PoE right now and STILL Pshychz networks cause problems
@procrastinate_

Yep, been asking for a while now for to drop Psychz, with MTR Proof and all that since last league start but no response. Even PM'd @Fitzy_GGG. Hopefully with the new league starting they will read this thread again and do something.

Love you GGG but please, we are gonna suffer when league starts and just use the London server. Sadge.
@Fitzy_GGG

Any chance of upping Azure hosting and uh... null routing the Psychz servers for launch?

After an entire league (and a little bit from previous), I think it's safe to say that Psychz as part of the "experimental tag" has well and truly proven to be terrible.

It can be stated without a shadow of a doubt that Psychz is not up to the task of providing stable latency due to constant packet loss on their network. I don't know where their networking engineers bought their degrees to get employed, but it shows.

Best of luck for the new league and expansion launch!
Really hopes this will be sorted. Excited about this league.

Have a awesome time everyone.

Yeah, have a great league start everyone!
