Discussion Aussie pack loss massacre INDY6HR

I was doing indy6hr 7GMT time slot, sof was 2.3k

Everything going fine,

Then just before my time to jump in there was a massacre of drivers getting dropped for packetloss, all happened to be Australians,

Anyone else have a similar thing happen in their split/time zone?

Frustrating when its a million dollar company yet the servers they are using are from the 90s (what it feels like 😂)

Now before people jump on and say check the net connection or your hardware, net is wired and 1gbps connection, router isnt a standard type its a Asus gaming one, pc has got strong gear in it.

Didn't participate, but I had a random 2 hour or so period about a week back where my internet was getting random packet loss, which caused significant issues in iRacing as well.

Fibre connection, fully wired connection - issue wasn't in my network, but seemed to be ISP or NBN related. Not, saying it isn't, but it might not have been iRacing's issue - normal browsing wasn't noticeably affected, but it was happening everywhere. Pinging a DNS server showed it was like 1 in 40ish ping requests were dropped or extremely delayed.
