Check for possible ping problems in Battlefield 4.
Excessive bandwidth isn't the answer; reducing latency by placing closer to the server with fewer hops is essential.
in css i experience around 42 milliseconds to reach my preferred website. my sister, who uses the same internet service provider and is on fiber, sees a 5 millisecond response time from her location when accessing the same server. yes, fiber should definitely reduce latency.
It doesn't depend on the amount of bandwidth, just that it's broadband. The problem is your data is bouncing across international borders, passing through numerous servers before reaching the game server and then returning.
You've only adjusted the hop count for the game server. That doesn't affect the available bandwidth. Each ISP has its own setup and performance, with fiber connections typically offering better connectivity nationwide. Latency and bandwidth are different concepts. For your sister, the 5ms is unrealistic—packets don’t leave the ISP’s network at that speed. If she used another ISP, the path would be longer and ping times would increase.
Server capacity doesn't influence ping results. Delays can occur if other users have worse connections. A 4Mbps connection provides around 20ms within your country, slightly better than nearby areas. Expect 60-80ms for Indian servers and over 100ms for distant ones.
I didn't mention that more bandwidth would reduce his latency. A fiber optic line will indeed cut his ping because it's faster than old copper, but since the server is outside his country, the impact will be limited. Still, it'll help a bit. When I talked about my sister's fiber connection, she was using the same CSS server in London, and her fiber had lower latency than mine. First of all, you were not in agreement with me, but now you're coming around.
Your connection appears to be via copper wiring, which is common in the UK. You're experiencing about 380kb/s for downloads and 97kb/s for uploads.
I visited Pakistan last month and had to deal with poor internet service there.
