Theirs got to be some way to reduce latency for plebs who live in the Oceania region I just cant stand it. I would actually move country if I could afford too and may well someday but until then any outside of the box solutions here?

no? you think there's some elite faster-than-light network cable that only secret hackers use?

I mean with the speed of light, NZ to Germany for instance would be 61ms so I guess there's a lot of overhead to be removed but unlikely anything that will be doable within your lifetime.

This is LAX to Sydney best case scenario, assuming latency at both ends and that light travels slower in fiber (because it bounces more) we can expect in a perfect world, a 50ms latency hub to hub. If you added in a perfect fiber last mile, you could get latency down to 70 ms West Coast US-East Coast Australia

>>69995472 Yeah by install more direct submarine cable from oceania to us rather than route it to asia first. But that's going to be very expensive since you can't find other country to invest.

>>69997375 Terrestrial cables are anything but straight. You're still largely bound by speed of light but you actually get straighter shots with Starlink's layout.

>>69998373 Do a little math and you'll see that a connection to the lowest recommended orbit directly above the ground client will net you latency over 200ms. Satellite networking sucks ass.

Why do you play on US server anyway? Make your own server with kangaroo, emu and kiwi so you can have lower ping.

12 hours later 70004206 Anonymous
>>70004192 You normally would. Any game with a player base that isn't essentially zero will have a bunch of servers in at least Sydney. I used to play on TF2 servers which had like 4ms ping.

>>69999148 Starlink will be in LEO, not geosync like current satellite internet networks. The distance is drastically less for a LEO net (25ms round trip to a single satellite). Since light in fiber is so stupid slow, you could actually see lower latency over starlink for long distances (a few thousand miles+) since most of the distance is through near vacuum.

>>70004651 The high frequency trader types are going to love Starlink - they already pay lots of money for microwave tower links between big cities (Chicago/NY and London/Frankfurt have them, for example) because that slight decrease in latency vs fiber is worth shelling out for. Getting that same edge on NY/Singapore or London/Sydney and so on will by itself probably bring in enough money to pay for the whole Starlink project.

>>69995472 Speaking from experience of living in NZ, best latency to USA was around 130ms, at worst (worst being the best you could get to the service) in the 200s. It's not that bad unless you want to play a twitch shooter. It won't affect you too negatively in most online games. Yes, sometimes you will die/lose because of it but usually that's because you've let yourself get into a situation where the determining factor is that latency.

>>70007346 You can send information using quantum entanglement. You must make measurements to find the information encoded in entangled particles. If you only have access to one of the particles, you need to somehow acquire the measurements of the other particle. So even if you use entanglement as a channel to send information, you ability to extract that information is limited by the speed of light.
