Latency testing in Perth, WA

July 4, 2019

Lag, Jitter, generally shitty internet. Troubleshooting a good connection can be (not) fun, especially when most ISP/RSP’s are based on the other side of the country.

Here’s a list of local addresses that should give you a sub <10ms ping with a half-decent NBN connection. If your ping is higher than that, then you might want to investigate.

 
  • 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 (Cloudflare WAIX Peer)
  • osy-core.dctwo.com.au (Osborne Park DC)
  • qv1.com.au (Perth DC)
  • speedtest-pth.vocus.net
  • per1.speedtest.telstra.net
  • speedtest.wa.ix.asn.au
  • rockingham.wa.speedtest.optusnet.com.au
  • sp02.au.superloop.com
 

Ping Pong!

Here is a convenient Powershell one-liner to test them all.

Test-Connection -ComputerName 1.1.1.1,1.0.0.1,osy-core.dctwo.com.au,qv1.com.au,speedtest-pth.vocus.net,per1.speedtest.telstra.net,speedtest.wa.ix.asn.au,rockingham.wa.speedtest.optusnet.com.au,sp02.au.superloop.com -Count 1

Happy pinging!
