So I shifted house this week… went from an ADSL+2 connnection with was about 9mb/s download and almost no upload capability. Game played great, no problems other than the normal reported in game bugs here and there. ZERO lag and in close to 500 hours of online game play I never once had a rubberband experience.
My new house has Vodafone NBN installed, 90mb/s download and about 35mb/s upload. Sweet right?
NO!!!
I can’t play Conan anymore due to insane ‘rubber banding’, as in every 5 minutes or so I am teleported back in time to a previous location. Doors/Chests don’t respond, loading times are all up sh*t creek.
I have tested this on both my computers, both private servers with mods, private servers no mods, and the official servers… same result each time… clearly this in not a Funcom/Server issue as only became an issue with new ISP.
Whats your ping? The main issue is the latency not the speed. When the ping is too high you will start to experience issues. Same with packet loss. Too much packet loss and you get the same issues.
EDIT: Also whats your ISP? I went to AussieBB cause they don’t have any congestion, so its the best one for gaming in theory.
The game server is one that I rent, it is here in Melbourne, I have 44ms ping. The game has the ability to toggle a debug HUD which confirms the latency and server tick rate… I rent a private server it is here in Melbourne, as am I.

All those are super low. Its not till you get over 100ms that you experience issues. Also 4 hops is very short. Only other thing I can think to check is the region access. But that shouldnt be an issue either since you are still in au.
I can’t advice further…man so strange! Sorry I was of no help :S
