seems conspicuous that programmer commentary on genAI is split between
"oh yeah i use claude all the time now. the 10× programmer is real and he's me. i am a god"
and
"yeah my coworkers use claude all the time. they keep committing crap that doesn't work and now i spend half my time fixing it"

But sadly, when it comes to latency, whenever VPNs work is entirely reliant on your ISP and it's just kind of a gamble, not just on Brazil but pretty much everywhere, they can only mitigate bad routing, and if you have bad routing to their servers too or general internet issues, it's doomed.

imo at 180-ish of ping, it doesn't make sense to use a VPN unless you need to mitigate packet loss or want the extra stability, while there's gains relative to the theoretical best (assuming you live in SP here ofc), they are so small, it's just not worth it, you will not notice the -10ms lol.

But when i started using it, i was on a pretty crappy local ISP with terrible routing (they were the first ones to offer Fiber in my neighborhood) and Mudfish did actually give me some major latency gains, from like, 230ms to 173ms.
These days, I use mudfish because of leftover credits + stability

I have never used Tim so i can't comment on that, but while these days i no longer use Vivo Fiber as i had to move, Mudfish did use to lower my latency with it from 182-184 -> 169-170, though at that point i used it not for the latency gains, but for the better packet stability.

So unless ExitLag has somehow found a magically faster route from São Paulo to US West and kept it exclusive to themselves, which is unlikely, the number it says is bullshit and should not be trusted.

One thing, when i tried ExitLag, it said my ping was 117, but that's a lie and i'm quite certain it's your ping to their servers and not to the game itself, because A) PingPlugin couldn't verify this, but also B) Not a single soul on the entire internet was able to get a ping this low to US West.

And...unsurprisingly, I can get almost those results with Mudfish + a GCP node (don't recall which, the auto RTT thing should pick it though).
Due to what i presume is OpenVPN overhead + my latency to mudfish servers, the ping i get is 170ms, but still, almost perfect.

I got this result from a GCP node in São Paulo to both the XIV game server and other servers in the area not hosted by NTT, and this connection was fiber all the way.
I also found that similar testing done by others found the same results, this seems to be a limitation of distance and infra.

I did a lot of testing on trying to get the lowest possible ping to XIV from São Paulo, and i tested many VPN servers and even hosted my own VPN server on every major cloud provider with free credits just to see what happens.
And the lowest ping from SP to Sacramento is 168ms in the real world.

Is it not..?
Granted this stuff is all heavily ISP dependent, but I've been using Mudfish on XIV since 2019 across a wide range of ISPs and connections types and it always worked great for me.
From Vivo's dogshit ADSL to their Fiber service and 5G, to random local ISPs offering Fiber.

COOL SEX TIP: if you are close to orgasm, don't say "I'm close" or "I'm gonna cum"; instead, declare riichi. this way, if they get you off, you can ron, but if you have to get yourself off, you can tsumo, indirectly indicating dissatisfaction with your partner's sexual performance
