And I've been wondering for some time why I play in Fortnite with a 30 ping even though I have 15ms on average according to several internet speed tests. I have already tried many things from router settings to Windows + adapter settings etc. I simply can't explain why I have a double ping game. Does anyone have any suggestions for a solution?
In fortnite you are not connected to the same server as the speedtest… The speedtest probably takes the server that is closest to you.
edit: on the fortnite eu server there are servers in frankfurt, stockholm, paris, london and somewhere in ireland. Which one you play on is random, which means that the ping can also vary greatly.
A ping is a runtime measurement from you to the server and back. If you use the speed test of your provider or another provider in Germany and the Fortnite server is in Wallachia, the difference should not be difficult to explain.
The fortnite server also has a delay
I have the 2play 250 from Unitymedia, is it normal to have a 30Ping on average with the package? People tell me about 15ms with 100 pack
The Fortnite server is in Frankfurt (2h) from me?
A double one? How can people with poorer packets have less ms than me?

Is it possible to reach the Frankfurt server?
Then either its line is overloaded, or the server itself is under such a load that this has a noticeable effect on the ping.
Or it simply has many upstream systems (hops), for example firewalls or load distributors. This extends the path of the signals.
The internet does not play a role in ping.
Yes, the frankfurt server is selected in 1 of 5 cases. As I said it is RANDOM.
That means I start fortnite 5x and see which one is the most stable?
You're not really smart, are you? Each round has a server. This is selected randomly in every round.
Calm down again you are intelligence-savvy you are here to help people or to present your oh so strong iq on the internet. Then explain reasonably and not "in 1 out of 5 cases without writing that the case relates to the search for a game" thanks but I decline your help thanks.
I've already told you everything 3 times, I can only assume that you can't be that smart. My iq is indeed quite above average, but no matter ^^ if you have minimal, even very minimal idea, you would immediately find that it has to do with the game search, because otherwise it would make absolutely no sense to have an eu server at all LUL
My question was defined from two approaches. Why and secondly, there are suggested solutions, how about a proposed solution. Your reasoning is based on the fact that it is "random", but can't be your theory, because many games (as mentioned above) Fortnite with a significantly better ping (although they have a much worse internet contract).

It is not a theory, it is a fact. There are no solutions ^^
