Very high ping to Steam(Valve) India servers

[5trange]

@5trange Hi - which VPN service are you using for gaming? Thanks.

I am using ProtonVPN for now. It works fine, I'm getting ~50ms to Mumbai servers.

@vignesh_venkatesan You are absolutely correct except that I gave up trying on the LG of AS9498 when I was writing my initial response. Will try again after sometime.

Thanks for the valuable information! I've already contacted BSNL Kerala through twitter and told them about this.

@5trange I tried again using the looking glass of Airtel to get the return path, but it's still broken. I've already reported this issue. Hope your issue gets resolved. Good luck!

@swapneelp Thanks a lot man, and I'm hoping this gets fixed soon. Thanks again for the valuable information!

Edit: I saw your comment on the a thread posted by a YOU Broadband user and the person said YOU broadband peers with Airtel and Vodafone. So, Is AS9829 the root of my problem?

I am just curious to know - How do we know that the servers are in India?

Regards,

Update: The local exchange replied to my email and they told me from now on, I will be getting an IP from the range 59.X.X.X and right now I'm getting 20ms to Chennai servers. Still not a permanent fix, But it works for now.

@5trange What is the ping you are getting to singapore?

 

[5trange]

@Nitin Currently I'm getting ~55ms to sgp-1.valve.net

Well chennai routing is never good for me, mumbai routing is just +1 ms from what you are getting.

Dubai is 200+ ms , pings are quite for me for most of the server 200+ ms for AWS mumbai whereas for the mumbai server you listed is 41 ms for me.

Very haphazard routing
