High Ping on TFTV Chicago Servers

Normally I pull around 15-30 ping on the chicago servers listed on the "Servers" page. But the past few days my ping has been ~120 on those. But I still pull ~50 on dallas and ~70 on west coast. So Why am I all of a sudden getting higher ping on chicago which is closest to me?

I tried playing on a valve server in virginia and got 35 ping. And I played chicago pub server and got 20 ping.

I have no idea what's going on but it's only the chicago tftv servers

Your ISP may have changed routing.

I can play on other chicago servers just fine though.

I'm in Toronto and I have 120 ping to pretty much all the chicago servers. Anything besides Chicago is okay though. I tracert'd a few IPs and for some amazing reason I'm connecting to Seattle first then to Chicago... I get lower ping to LA than to fucking Chicago wtf.

I am also in Toronto and you described the exact same experience. Is your ISP bell?

Seems like there is still lots of people getting good ping on those, unless it's only being shit for specific people.

I had an issue where I was getting 20%-30% packet loss to all northeast valve servers. No idea why.

I actually had the exact same thing happen to me with them giving me a new shitty modem for no apparent reason. I'm planning to switch to Rogers some time this summer, hopefully they don't have the same issues

Potentially consider switching to teksavvy? If they offer it in your area the customer support is very friendly good rates and my routing/ping is okay everywhere and im in Ontario (near Toronto)

ya i get the same thing with bell now too, only started like a week or two ago

Unfortunately rogers is even worse as i got constant timeouts/lagging. It's really choosing the lesser of two evils, teksavvy has better prices but afaik it uses rogers infrastructure so the same issues would remain :(

ISP's love to change routing randomly. I've had the same issue on and off with several sever locations.

Dallas used to ping 70-80 normally then for a couple months I was at 110-120.
Phoenix I used to ping 40-50 to and I was getting 100+ for a while on the FirePowered servers
Chicago I've had times where I'd ping 80-90 then a month on and off where I am at 120-130.

It's such nonsense and the ISP is usually clueless and unable to do anything about it.

If you are a hardcore esporter it's probably not a bad idea to run 2 connections so you can switch on and off. Run a cable/fiber connection as your main and a secondary DSL connection or something.

i called bell and they basically didnt even try to fix or discuss the problem

i wish i could use teksavvy but its not provided in my area which blows.
it sucks because i was finally enjoying dm servers but now im getting horrid ping to them.

5 more months till i move away for uni, maybe i will have better internet there lmao
