Was having problem playing online game sfv multiplayer lately via Maxis. So did some basic test via pingtest.net and speedtest.net.

Both sites detected that I'm performing the test from Sarawak !! I'm doing the test from KL.

Do you think this is related to the problem on the online game ?
Is this a sign of screwed routing ?

Speed test determine your location based on your ip. Geolocation for IP address sometime occasionally had accuracy about 20% but rest assure your ip are definitely Malaysian ip address

20% based off ? Its like over a thousand miles off from my actual location.

20% within 50 miles radius usually. Unless you have access to FBI or some shit, sometimes the location is off. It wouldn't affect your internet performance.

ya if within 50 miles still acceptable. Actually it did affect my internet performance as latency increased so much when doing multiplayer gaming with local friends, as if I'm connected to them from Sarawak. Called Maxis and they acknowledge the issue and reset my connection and things back to normal
