Just wondering what server most people here play on?

And does anyome from Australia use any proxy tunneling service to play on the NA or any other region?

I have been using 'FixMyLag' for a while now, and for the most part it has been pretty good to play on the NA server, I would get minimal to a feeling of no almost no delay.

But recently after the latest patch, it has been very bad and unplayable.

Yo dude, i'm also from Adelaide.
I have solid af connection to SEA and KR, NA and EU have lag but veeeery minimal.

What ISP are you with? I've been in 3 houses with Adam Internet at each in the past and it's been nothing but a smooth ride. That might be your issue.

(Please don't say TPG :/ )

Im like SouL there. I've got a decent connection to all the servers with a slight noticeable delay on EU at times but still very playable.

I'm with Internode.

Good ISPs in Adelaide are few and far between, good to know you and I got the long end of the stick. :)

Im also with adam internet, and when I was first with them about 2.5 years ago, I could play on NA with minimal lagg. But then suddenly it became very laggy and nothing I did fixed it, so I started using 'FixMyLag' tunneling service, and that helped alot and was good for the most part of 1.5 years I have been using it.

But lately even that doesn't help anymore. I also think I might have a bad line here at home.

The FixMyLag stuff works by trying to (from memory) make TCP connections a little bit more efficient.

Unfortunately SC2 is entirely UDP based (can't really get much more "efficient" than UDP) so the tunneling services won't do anything unfortunately.

That's strange, because like I said, it has helped me alot for the past 1.5 years. Only lately it hasnt, and I am sure SC2 is TCP based but UDP for ingame voice.

Anyways FixMyLag has UDP VPN server's.
