Huh, so what other #ASEAN #gamers have mentioned, South-East Asia now have a better ping to European gaming servers than US West Coast (or any US-based gaming servers).
This is interesting. I'm going to expand my test in the future. But for now, the results are the same with or without VPN. I guess ASEAN now have a direct connection to the EU IX and uses the latest technology?
I wonder where our connection passes through to get to the EU.
Here in the Philippines, our connection goes through:
1. Taiwan or Hong Kong
2. From there it travels the Pacific Ocean to US West Coast.
3. From US West Coast, it travels to Central.
4. From Central to East Coast.
5. From East Coast to Europe.
If we now have a connection direct to EU IX, then it means we're no longer passing through the US?
Any IX experts out there?
