Hi, I play warzone competitively and a lot of the the tournaments are hosted on servers on the east coast or in Texas in the USA and I have been getting worse pings to these servers recently. I used to get around 90ms ping to New York servers and 110-120 to Texas but in the last month I have been getting 120 to New York and 160ms to Texas which is making it a lot harder to compete with the US players.
I am in Ireland and I tried a traceroute and geolocating IP addresses on the traceroute and my traffic seems to be going from Ireland to London before going across the Atlantic instead of taking a more direct route using the under-sea cables that go from Ireland direct to the US.
Can anyone give me ideas for what I can try to lower the ping myself e.g vpn settings or is the only thing that can be done is Virgin changing their routing for US traffic from Ireland? Obviously I am using a wired Ethernet connection.
