As you might have noticed, there has been a persistent PL (packet loss) bug\annoyance on Quakeworld.fi since the beginning of this year.

The first announcement concerns it: I'm more than happy to announce that the problem has been solved by Nebula.fi. The problem was that they had a lagging router which needed to be fixed. As you might know, only the owner of the router can do the fixing so SuomiCom couldn't do anything about it, hence the stupid delay of 9 months.

The second announcement is that SuomiCom (the ISP that hosts Quakeworld.fi) has entered into a contract with RETN and the routing from/to Quakeworld.fi will go through RETN network from different places, especially considering Russia.

What I'm trying to say is this:

Quakeworld.fi -> qw.playground.ru : 19ms
Quakeworld.fi -> qwtkt.gamecod.ru : 7.1ms

The routing and ping is really good between Quakeworld.fi and Russian servers. If one has bad ping to Quakeworld.fi but good ping to Troopers.fi , there's only 1,8ms between the two servers. In this case you can chain QWfwds. If you don't remember or know how to do this, here's some help to refresh your memory.
