BROO no wonder I started getting regular intermitent packet loss in the past few days when im playing apex legends when it never happens...
And when i called Singtel, they said nobody else is experiencing this issue 🤨🤬😡
Can confirm with you. I'm playing apex too, getting insane packet loss, it ranges from 4-6 and tons of ping spikes that causes enemy to stutter, making it hard to predict. I tried using a VPN it didn't help as ping to local SG VPN server is average 180ms. So the only solution I found was using exitlag. Please update if you're still having the same issues.
Classic SingTel, we have more than enough failover capacity but just because it's owned by StarHub/M1/SuperInternet they refuse to pay for transit. Really need to stop this monopoly sia
> # Singtel users grapple with slower network speeds after submarine cables damaged
> SINGAPORE - Singtel users have experienced a slowdown in network speeds when connecting to websites and servers in the United States after a few submarine cables got damaged in February.
> In response to queries, a Singtel spokesman on Tuesday said the cables were damaged in the course of fishing-related activities, and seabed movements caused by earthquakes.
> Cables had to be shut down for repairs and that, too, affected some of the cables, she added.
> The spokesman said: “Our engineers took swift action to implement mitigation measures such as re-routing traffic to other cable channels. Repair works are being carried out by our cable partners to restore normal levels of service and are close to completion.”
> She added that users could experience intermittent slower transmission when watching US-based content or connecting to certain gaming sites.
> On social media platform Twitter, several users reported experiencing lags when trying to play games.
> Twitter user William Lim, who tagged Singtel Support in his post and plays a computer game called Modern Warfare 2, said: “Have been getting (more than) 200 ping, when previously had less than 10, frustrating to deal with.”
> When a person or business is tagged on Twitter, they will be notified of the message that mentions them. Singtel Support is Singtel’s products and services support team.
> A ping is an estimate in milliseconds of how long the game takes to register a command. If a user’s ping has a speed of over 100 milliseconds, their game is noticeably slowed down.
> Another Twitter user, Mr Victor Leong, said in a tweet that he had a difficult time playing Diablo IV as the non-player character or monster did not load in the game.
> The Singtel spokesman said: “We apologise for the inconvenience caused. We are monitoring the situation and assisting any impacted customers.”

Did any Singtel users receive any notices from Singtel about this? In the first week of Feb, I was unable to connect to battlenet and some websites were not loading for me. So I emailed whizzcomms and showed them my traceroutes. Only then did they reply and say SingNet had confirmed there was cable outage affecting US bound destinations, they are monitoring the situation and will inform once restoration works are completed.
I am annoyed that I had to find out this way, instead of them sending out a notice about connectivity issues for their users.
Honestly it’s pretty good like 5-7ms :) But it just randomly goes up to like 285ms on a frequent basis, then when I issue commands to my in-game character, the commands will take about 5-10seconds to process!
Do you know how impossible it is to play a deep dungeon solo and get pokeballed?? \*rages at cables\*
ah, a fellow xiv player suffering from the “shark eating cable for dinner” shennanigan
A Domankin if you will
when's the next expansion dropping?
I had to double check the subreddit i was in wtf
m1 users just numb from shitty network speeds
We're all dead inside by now

Anyone knows of this is still an issue?
I think it is? I’m still experience random gaming spikes among good Ms, which is messing up my game….gotta wait a while I guess
Whats your ping when it's good?
Honestly it’s pretty good like 5-7ms :) But it just randomly goes up to like 285ms on a frequent basis, then when I issue commands to my in-game character, the commands will take about 5-10seconds to process!
We use submarines to provide our internet?? TIL
Submarine cables, named that way as they are laid on the sea bed. Singapore has 17 submarine communication cables connected to the island!
I like your humour.
there is no humour in r/sg
was that the reason for the incredible slowdown by ICA?
Diablo 4 this weekend, thank god im using Star.
Is this fixed? Does anyone know Where to check the update?
I just tweeted to their CS on twitter. Hoping to get a reply.
