Guild Wars 2

I’m getting tired of playing with inconsistent ping that spikes to well over 2.5k regularly. Wondering what some of you have done to improve your ping.

I’ve already upgraded to a new router and I connect via an Ethernet cable.
Any other suggestions?

Where are you at what region?

I live in Australia and play on the NA servers.

change internet provider?

Theres no sure fire fix for this sort of problem, other than changing ISP or using a 3rd party VPN provider, but the problem is that neither will guarantee what improvement you will get.
The reality of physics is that to get from Australia to the US and back, your connection goes thru a lot of routers and a long undersea cable, all of which adds latency, and latency is the killer of any MMO.

Ping not being related to distance but to the number of hops, your best bet is to try a VPN service to see if that helps.

Or move to the United States of Awesome.

Maybe it’s just the route your traffic is taking to get from Australia to North America, have you measured your ping to any of the other realms?
