ozfortress - team fortress 2 in australia

I'm pinging really high to the ozfortress servers, getting a steady 180 ping. Any other pub servers are fine though. I'm on Vodafone and know of another person with the same problem.

Here is the tracert output. Not sure if anyone can help or if I should just contact Vodafone?

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

I've got the exact same problem, all other Australian Servers are fine except for Ozfortress servers. On Vodafone also.

www.winmtr.net please run and report results

vocus plz

Shall I run it on vocus.com.au.any2ix.coresite.com ?

Thanks

Also just tried Atf2l and that is fine too.

First result is the link between vocus and vodafone, the second one indicates your traffic is going to the states and back.

Contact your isp

internode and iinet also seem to have the same problem - on the thread in whirlpool they seemed to indicate that they couldn't do anything and the fix needed to happen with the Ozfortress host.

edit: all good now

can you test it now kev? there were some issues with AU users being routed to HK and back, but they have been resolved. not sure if it will have any impact on NZ users though

Hi thanks for looking into it and replying. It is working perfectly now thank you.
I hate to be a pain but I just discovered the same problem with IPGN servers, it looks like it is going to asianet.

I'll contact Vodafone too in case it is something on their end.

That IP is not valid as we no longer maintain servers in Sydney. If you're getting bad connectivity to iPGN, run an mtr on 202.138.3.36

OK I updated the previous post.

that looks like a vodafone issue to me
