Hi could do with some help if possible.

So, me and 3 of my friends have our own minecraft server, we were running it vanilla but built a small custom modpack for the server.

Anyhow, on both the vanilla world and this modded world, I routinely am struggling to have a stable connection - typicall 1 or 2 bars out of the 5, keep getting "waiting for server" messages pop up constantly.

We use rox servers which is based in france, we are uk based so a little bit of latency is to be expected, but I am spending more time "waiting for server" than I am actually playing. We've used rox for like 3 years or so, never had issues with them. Noone else is having connection issues.

My internet is a virgin media 100Mbit connection, and Ive speed tested it via speedtest.net a few times and its coming with a download of 90ishMbit, and an upload of 11ishMbit, which is right.

Not running any downloads or anything.

Just connected to a random vanilla minecraft server and it was running perfectly for me.

So that would suggest its just my connection to the server rather than just my internet having an issue right ?

Anyhow, any help/advice would be great since this is bugging the hell out of me.

See I thought that, but, its not affecting anyone else, youd expect a server issue to affect everyone on the server, not just one individual, at least, i would expect that.
