So I live in Singapore and I play a game that has it servers set in London. I usually ping the server once a week minimum and the it’s always been 162 however 3 days ago I pinged the server again as per usual only to find out my ping is suddenly 237. Was wondering if it has anything to do with me also getting exitlag and using it arnd the same time I pinged 237 and if so how do I fix it. Also I had a friend who’s in Singapore too to ping the server and his ping was 162 too so idk help me pls!
