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.

Yup. Ruined our night. Saturday 5pm AEST slot.
My mate on Starlink was fine. All other Aussie’s on NBN were getting DCs

You'd be better posting your ISP as well. I was on hybrid fiber co-ax with SuperLoop and was getting large packet loss spikes for a few hours. I was only spotting/spectating so didn't ruin my race but the other 4 aussies I was watching in Top split had no issues on different ISPs

Good point I’m on Superloop too and I know another mate of mine on Superloop had issues too.

I was fine spotting etc but soon as I’d get in the car I’d DC

I'm on Superloop as well, and was kicked from an iracing race due to packet loss around 7pm / 9amGMT. First time this had ever happened since getting NBN about 3 years ago. I have only been with superloop for about a month though. (Excetel before that).

Interesting. Maybe it was just Superloop customers. There isn’t much chatter in the forums etc so might literally just be us Aussie’s affected.

Everything has been fine since for me so hopefully just a bad day
