Can't play online using mobile network

Hi,

 

I'm having real ping issues with my home connection (100+) and my ping is even better using 4G. However when I try to play some games like Age of Empires 3, I won't work. I'm able to log in but can't join any lobby/game. I've tried to play NBA 2K too, and I was able to play but the ping was still too high.

Any idea why I can play some games and not others using 4G? If it can help, my internet speeds are around 7Mb/s on download and a ridicilous 0.4Mb/s on upload.

 

Thanks

are you on wifi? do you have at&t?  are you using the router att gave you? if you answered yes to any of these questions, try a wired Ethernet connection, because the att stock router bottlenecks your wifi a lot

To answer question why some games work and others not. It all depends how often game checks your connection. Some games disconnect for tiniest lag even when you wouldn't notice it.
