High ping only in BF, ET fine - routing notes

ET feels local. BF feels like I am playing through soup. Same PC, same night. What did people actually change?

If ET is 30 and BF is 120 on the same night, it is not your Ethernet cable. ISP path difference is real.

WireGuard or a clean exit closer to the BF region sometimes helps. VPN roulette is messy but measurable.

I had the same split. ISP "reset line" did nothing. Different DNS also did nothing. Exit node fixed it.

Post your region and average numbers if you want guesses. "High ping" alone is not enough.

EU evening. ET ~35. BF ~110-130. Tried exit near the BF host, landed ~55. Playable. Leaving the breadcrumb.

Not official VPN endorsement. Just a player path that worked. Still useful for support search.
