    Thumbs down High pings with Flow

    So last year when I finally switched from the Lime 8 meg package to the Flow 20 megs package, my pings in League of Legends went from 80+ to a decent and most times steady 69-71 ms ping. But since this start of the year I notice my pings have started going in the 100's up to a steady 151 ms or higher.

    I just tried testing in another game "Rocket League" and it was showing steady at 72 ms ping and then started going to 84 ms ping, so wondering if this is a local thing or just connection to certain regions? Anyone else having similar issues?

    More thank likely it is the LOL server your connecting to or the route the traffic takes to get there. Once the traffic goes off island there is very little the ISP can do.

    Wouldn't it be more sensible to ping a server on the American East coast, where the LOL servers are likely to be located?

    As you can see below my connection is fine. As Gweezy said speedtest seem to only test locally, so seems it's really a overseas or maybe server issue. Doesn't anyone in here play League of Legends or even Battlefield or some online game and notice any difference in their pings?:

    Again, why are you pinging Flow's local server? As far as I am aware there are no any datacenters in Jamaica that are used by any foreign company.

    If you want to test you internet latency use CMD prompt to ping 'google.com' or '8.8.8.8'. That will give your real-world latency measurement.

    Go ahead and ping '8.8.8.8' and see how it compares to your SpeedTest results.
