I would be interested in whether one of you is playing Fortnite and you live in Austria with such a bad ping as I have.
I live in Styria and have a 40s ping public when it goes well.
40ms is not bad now. I can't say whether it's normal in Austria, but 40ms can also be due to your line. Go to Speedtest.net and say what ping you have there.
Actually, the ping should only be a few milliseconds higher than in Germany, provided the servers are there.
28 ms
Okay, already expected. The latency period from Austria (depending on where) to Frankfurt is around 12ms. Do you use Wi-Fi or LAN?
