[FIXED] Why South-East Asian players lag when playing in JPN servers (and vice versa)

The cause of the lag

Asia Submarine-cable Express (ASE)/Cahaya Malaysia

CABLE LANDING POINTS

Changi South, Singapore

Daet, Philippines

Maruyama, Japan

Mersing, Malaysia

Sihanoukville, Cambodia

Tseung Kwan O, Hong Kong

But why do we only lag at night?

Extra Information

Since the 4th of March, most, if not all SEA players started getting high ping when playing in JPN servers at night/early morning, some throughout the day.The reason behind this is that on that day, thehad been cut/damaged.Cable map/illustration: http://www.submarinecablemap.com/#/submarine-cable/asia-submarine-cable-express-asecahaya-malaysia News article for reference: http://subtelforum.com/articles/update-from-telekom-malaysia-on-restoration-works-to-repair-submarine-cable-fault/ Unfortunately, I could not find a solid reason as to why some players lag only at night. The most probable explanation is that traffic for some ISPs are normally routed via other cables, but are re-routed at night through the damaged cable, causing slower international data transmission only at that time.Hopefully the cable would get repaired soon.-From the news article:"The rerouting options available in South East Asia are also hampered by minor faults and planned maintenance on several other sea submarine cables around the region, namely Asia Pacific Cable Network 2 (APCN 2), South East Asia – Japan Cable (SJC), South East Asia – Middle East – Western Europe 4 (SEA-ME-WE 4)."This means that alternative cables are also undergoing maintenance/fault correction, which might still cause ping issues for those who are rerouted to JPN via those cables.For those who also experience lag in ASC servers, it is probably because your data is routed via the damaged cable to the servers. To my knowledge, the ASC servers are located in Hong Kong.
