WinMTR helps diagnose lag or connection problems you may have with our servers
Ping / Packet loss issues can occur anywhere between your home computer and the server we provide. Many of the nodes (hops) your data will pass through are not controlled by us, these include your ISP and higher level data carriers. We do our very best to ensure our machines and network to the internet has superb performance, but naturally once the information passes from us to the wider internet, we have no control over the performance of the other parties involved in carrying your data.
In order to try and determine the point at which your data is being affected, you will need to run a network trace to our server. Please complete the following instructions and submit to our support department.
