Hi. I was wondering if anyone could provide some insight, or give some advice as to what can be done about this.

Basically, my ping on Jelly Marathon always hovers at 300+. Yet my connection to other servers for other games in the US is nearer to 200. Trying to snipe on Jelly is just god awful, it literally is like playing whack-a-mole. Yet I've played on other Rene servers with 300 ping, and it's smooth as anything. My KBPS remains constant, but it seems like there is packet loss or something else to blame due to the sporadic movement of the players. Some packet loss is seen in the tracerts.

I realise this will be probably be scoffed at due to the sheer amount of variables that can influence ping times. Routing, server locations, differences in quality of the servers etc etc. However, I feel my ping should be lower.

The two game servers I tested between are Jelly and League of legends. If I'm not mistaken, Jelly's is hosted in Dallas, and LoL in Santa Monica (Half the country away from each other - 3 more hops)

My questions are:

1. Why is hop 14 always missed to jelly?
2. Is network congestion to blame for the large variation in packet times?
3. What can I do about this?

Tracerts to Jelly:

Tracerts to LoL server:

Grateful to anyone who goes through this and offers any advice.

Thanks.
