Could there be a way to decrease latency between the USA?

I find, with players of Minecraft & Terraria which are not very CPU intense for action like a first person shooter, there is a zillion billion million latency and some players feel less than happy about not being able to see boss battles, blocks not loading,
falling through maps, etc.

I was wondering what grade A shooter titles do to keep players in sync, and maybe we could do that for games that require team work for survival, building, economy. I think at some point Sony, in one of their online MMO's, had awesome latency, fixed it,
but then simply disconnected Europe for cost(?) I know recently Blizzard opened a data center in AU, but even so, that reduced some players from 92fps down to 32 and 12 fps. 12 fps would be better then what we have. So, I know what I'm asking is difficult,
but in most first person shooter games, there seems to be no issue. Even Happy Wars is often better in sync. So, is there some box, or subroutine, or switch we can flip to make the connections of International players more 'solid'?

Would you ever want to run tests of Minecraft and Terraria between players in say New Zealand, Canada, and maybe Germany or Brazil, and see how the connection is, say when fighting Dukefishron, and walking around the Nether?

Connection to XBOX LIVE randomly drops connection

Hi there Halo Skillz FTW! Excellent Gamertag. Honestly, WiFi connection issues are pretty tough to solve around unless you can decrease the distance and the amount of walls in between the router and the console. You may also use a WiFi repeater, but those
can also cause issues with lag; namely, they can increase the latency a bit. If you're already on the cusp of lagging (250ms is where you will typically drop the connection), this could be an issue.

I'd recommend running a test located at
http://www.pingtest.net and let us know what the latency is that's it's reporting. If it's high, your best options are to decrease the distance, or run a wired connection. After that, if you're still lagging, then I'd contact your ISP for further assistance.

 

Weird possible latency issues

Bridging the console through your laptop will increase, not decrease, latency.

The direct connection to the modem, bypassing the router, will decrease latency.

You can confirm this by testing w/ Ping Test check my ping for Ping time when the PC is connected through the router and compare that when the PC is connected directly to the modem.
Please advise both ping times & let us know.

It would also be very helpful if you could do
Win-R |
cmd | ping –f –l 1364 epix.xbox.com in both router and no-router configurations.
