Home Internet Gaming Problem
I recently started test driving T-Mobile home internet at my house, and it's worked great for everything except games, where I'm having a weird issue with some of them. When I try to play Apex Legend...
Got off the phone with another T-Mobile tech and they more or less said, gamers are screwed and you're better off going with another ISP. They are aware of all the issues with their service and multi-player gaming. X-Box I guess is the worst. Issues of Latency over cellular networks are compounded with their Dynamic IP architecture baked into their modems. Their approach is to work with service providers like Microsoft and other big companies (he mentioned Hulu) to better accommodate their structure rather than the other way around. Good luck with that! Sounds like rearchitecting to accommodate Static IP is a major lift. He didn't mention anything about reverting to a previous state when it was working, but I get the feeling there is no going back. I think they'll need to see a mass exodus of gamers and see the lost revenue before prioritizing/investing in a fix. It a shame.
