After you have installed Unifi at your home, things to do:

1. Upgrade your router to a good performance router because router provided by TM have poor performance.
2. Use wired connection (LAN Cat 6 cable) when gaming because using wireless connection spikes up the ping.

Depends on where you're pinging. 4ms is the best I have to Speedtest servers closet to me.

Asus RT-AC68U (TM1900 refurbished) from Taobao very good at <RM290.

performance very very good, New set selling at RM900 in Malaysia.

i have just got one few days back.

thanks for the advice guys...will do that......thanks!!

Overwatch (SEA) server? Ping to SG is around 12ms.

You need to run on 5GHz or cable. Set router QOS settings for gaming. Ping to SYD is around 150ms as reported by in-game latency.

yea SEA server...u got 12ms in overwatch?? wow..with unifi?

do u by any chance play world of warcraft too? if so pls let me know the ping..

cat 6? dam i have cat 5e all over my house when i was using streamyx...do i need to change?

Cat5e is rated up to 1,000MBps for up to 30m at least? You should be fine on 100MBps

No need. Cat 5e is good enough already.

Oceanic server pings home around 150ms. World if you join a US raid around 300ms as the connection routes from SYD to US

However at times very high pings (seldom) that makes the game unplayable. Use WTFast which will hold pings in the 250ms range. Seldom is like couple of days every many months

ok cool thx

i play overwatch on 100mbps Unifi and the lowest ping i get is 17ms, nowadays around 34ms. It's depend on your location also. but if play CS:GO, definitely single digit ping.

btw, i'm using stock dlink router and wifi.

Stock D-Link is on 2.4GHz which is prone to wifi interference plus wifi is weak.

Plus buffer bloat can be bad. The little box is pretty amazing considering its age.

well im gaming using 4g only with 50ms on speed test. and it still works fine on my fps games. of coz u will notice some players response insanely fast. may b is internet or high refresh rate kinda hardware

i was using digi infinite with b618 modem ...i duel with my friend 1v1 widow...he always get the first hit caz using fiber internet...so i kinda give up 4g...cant rank up with it...

Sorry for replying in the old thread.my ps4 game ping sux real time but the normal speedtest results is ok.
is it related to the router?
any idea?

I'm an Overwatch player too, location at Klang, Selangor, package is 800mbps. Ping to TM is about 2ms, ping to Singtel SG is about 10ms, Overwatch normally is about 20ms~25ms, best I'd seen is 17ms, worst is about 28ms, but I can't really feel the different between 17ms to 28ms, even with my 144hz monitor.

So don't keep you eyes on the ping in game, just enjoy it, any ping below 30ms is barely noticable, I've seen ppl with 100ms ping but still 4 golds, lol.

if high ping doesnt affect the game, I am fine with it..
the problem is it leads to game lag and random dc..is damn frustrating.

What's the actual problem you are facing? Are you connect it with LAN cable or Wi-Fi?

LAN cable...
Speedtest are all fine..ping dl and ul...
just that my ps4 games..lag and high ping
my friend are playing the same server and at the same time..din face any ping or lag.

Having the same issue as well currently. No problem with speed but online ps4 game lags every 15 seconds for few seconds. So frustrating. Happens to me after I changed the modem to the new small white Huawei model. The previous one (silver model from 2014), had no problem with it at all. Tm technician came the other day and thought problem was solved but nope. No thinking of finding the old model back but no idea where

Read my reply above.

Maybe you can try to reconnect to get another IP and test again, for example, I always use speedtest app to test the connection to Singtel server, some IP gave me 10ms+- ping, while other IP gave me 190ms ping.

The reason why I choose Singtel to test is because many server located at SG, from my experience I can tell almost half IP offered by TM are bad and the other half is good, so every time when I restart my router, I will reconnect again and again until I get the good IP.

im using the white modem as well
is it related to the modem or the router? From another thread it mention that the router provided sux-tplink ac1200
for the modem not sure if is there any new firmware for that?
how do you logged the issue and ask them to come? You just tell them the gaming ping is sux?

you mean restart the modem to get a new IP?
i tried that but not helping at all

1ms ping to router confirm can.even <1ms.

Have you tried a VPN connection that might help, or can you swap another router to test?

things I will try...
1. try to update the firmware.
2. change another router Dlink 850L
3. vpn perhaps?

will post my result of it
