Fortnite game high ping and latency

Juggin95
Tuning in

Hi,

 

I have fiber optic m200 package. My in game experience is extremely laggy and has been laggy for the past 4/5 months.

 

My upload/download speeds are fine, I just get really high ping (50-150) when in game which makes it impossible to play.

It was suggested to post a traceroute to fortnite (Epic Game) servers:


Tracing route to qosping-aws-eu-west-3.ol.epicgames.com [52.47.107.154]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

Trace complet

Can anyone see anything from the above?

I've also contacted virgin over the phone and the rep said there is a known fault in my area that may be affecting me, however this should be resolved by the 15th February.  - To be honest this sounds like a generic response that just so happens to be fixing a fault within 2 days of me calling about an issue i've had for 5 months.

 

I have been connected to my PC via ethernet all the time while experiencing these issues. 

I dont think there is anything I can change in my house.. only obvious possibility that I can think of is utilization issues in my area which is causing ping/latency issues?

 

If it is utilisation issue, then what is the solution?

Thanks for noticing the voltage. In that case,  I’d like a tech to come down 

Hey @Juggin95,

Welcome back to the community and thanks for taking the time to post here on the forums.

I have looked into our system and can see an SNR fault in your area that is the current cause of your issues, we wouldn't be able to arrange for a technician visit during thus period.

The current estimated fix date and time is Friday 25th @ 12:00. We apologise for the issues that you've been having and our engineers are working hard to resolve this for you. 

Regards,

Steven_L
