Poor connection speed with minimal delay on speednet, but laggy game performance.
You've recently relocated from a city apartment to a suburban area in Australia. You're experiencing changes in your online performance, especially during games. Your connection speed is decent overall, but latency spikes and inconsistent ping values are affecting your gaming experience. The issue seems tied to network conditions rather than just your router setup. Using USB tethering worsens latency on Speedtest but improves game latency, suggesting the problem lies with your internet provider or specific routing paths. Consider checking your ISP plan, exploring alternative connections, and possibly using a dedicated VPN for gaming if speed isn't sufficient.

Ping reflects how far a server is from your location. The farther it is, the higher the number will be. If network traffic gets busy or a cable is damaged, packets may take longer paths, raising the ping. Local equipment changes usually don’t help much. Switching ISPs could work if they offer a more direct connection to Asia. Using a VPN might assist if it reroutes traffic more efficiently. Otherwise, the best you can do is join a game server nearer your area.
I was worried about this possibility. I think I should test the higher-rated ISPs nearby to check if it really improves things. Appreciate the details!
