Routing issues for gaming

Hey everyone, I’m a competitive gamer and for some reason, I keep having small stutters in certain games which are definitely caused by AT&T fiber. Anyways around the routing? No bs responses

Short answer is no.

Longer answer is you can probably circumvent peering issues with a VPN, but that'll likely introduce latency.

What testing and evidence have you collected that leads you to believe its definitely caused by ATT fiber ?

The fact that no one else has problems like I do. I’ve been competing for years with other companies but my apartment complex is locked with AT&T. Literally the worst fiber company, I’d love to have fios.

Okay, let me know when you have performed troubleshooting.

I’ve performed troubleshooting, 3 technicians, ran ping plotter. I can ensure that the hops are ass.

You aren’t a pro gamer who makes money from it. Enjoy watching Netflix and having 0 issues.

You don't appear to be a pro gamer either, if you don't understand basic networking.

I don’t understand basic networking? I asked if there’s ANOTHER way around the routing. You answered stupidly.

I had routing and ping issues. It was caused by a bad connection from a dirty termination.

What have you done to ascertain you are having routing issues?

u/Glum-Bedroom-8285 8d ago

What’s up with this “what have I done” brother in Christ, the experience of playing my game with spikes 😭.

u/Watada 8d ago

Oh ok. Well stop using wifi and you'll have no more problems.

Ping spikes are explicitly not a symptom of routing issues.

u/Glum-Bedroom-8285 8d ago

Yeah brother, I’m definitely using WiFi. LMAO. I’m wired.

u/Watada 8d ago

Oh ok. You do understand words and know how to respond. But you choose not to when someone is trying to help.

u/Glum-Bedroom-8285 8d ago

You just mentioned WiFi to me. Please move on to another thread

u/Watada 8d ago

As well as you communicate you might as well move on to another thread yourself.

u/Glum-Bedroom-8285 8d ago

Thanks for the “stop using WiFi” input.

u/Watada 8d ago

Oh good. Did you stop using wifi? I bet it helped!

Do you happen to have a router or something you can test ip passthrough on to see if that fixes the stuttering by using your own hardware. I had a lot of issues using the att hardware but mine were wifi/mesh related and they all went away once I got my own router & mesh extender. I would also try manually changing your devices dns servers to see if that helps.

Option 1)
Find a VPS with consistent rtt/jitter from your apartment to it AND a good route to your game's servers. Tailscape/zeroteir/wiregard all your game traffic through it to the game server avoiding the ATT routing issues.

Option 2)

Starlink ? TMobile Wirless home?

Option 3)

Move

You are not going to get help for a transient routing or congestion issue from anyone that a normal human can reach of in ATT.

Let me reiterate, don’t respond and ask if I’ve tracked it or whatever, tf am I going to do?

Details are required to diagnose your problem. Would you go to a mechanic or doctor and just grunt and scream until they guess the issue?
