7. Why does NETVIGATOR describe round-trip latency as "average", when users complain about higher-than-average game latency during peak hours?
Latency is affected by a variety of external factors. If users suspect a network latency issue, we suggest they login to the Gamer Pack website and make a technical inquiry via the online survey. We will reply as soon as possible. The guaranteed round-trip latency published by NETVIGATOR is based on use of the most representative server. This latency may be slightly different to the case some users are talking about.

Gamer Pack service is currently applicable only to computers. We will review and expand service coverage in the forseeable future.
Making a money-back claim
-
1. What is the claim procedure?
Submit a completed online claim form at Gamer Pack’s website, along with documentary proof, within seven business days of the date round-trip latency was measured. Upload any two items of documentary proof (screen capture or photos) from the items listed below:
i. In-game network latency value
ii. Gamer Pack network latency monitoring reading showing actual network latency value, and
iii. Ping proof and/or Traceroute command
Round-trip latency measurement data must be consistently greater than the slower end of the guaranteed round-trip latency we specify at the Gamer Pack website for at least two consecutive hours and includes each measurement (ie at the start, the end and the period between end and start), captured 60 or fewer minutes from the previous measurement. -
2. How many supporting documents need to be uploaded if my latency claim period is between 14:00 to16:00? What are the document-type specifications? Will the document need a time stamp?
Capturing three measurements and providing at least two items of documentary proof, as specified, means you need to upload six measurements in total.
If your latency claim period is between 14:00 to 16:00, you should provide documentary proof along the lines of the three measurements listed below:
i. At the start (14:00);
ii. The end (16:00), and
iii. The period between the start and finish (15:00).
You need to upload two items of documentary proof (screen capture or photos) from the items listed below:
i. In-game network latency value;
ii. Gamer Pack network latency monitor reading showing actual network latency value; and
iii. Ping proof and/or Traceroute command
We suggest ZIP or RAR file format, and each capture/photo should display a computer clock date and time stamp. -
3. How do I calculate the money I should get back if my latency claim period is between 23:00 and 01:00?
You will be entitled to make a claim for one day – eg monthly rate of $68/30-day x 1 day x 2 times = $4.6
-
4. Can I get a latency value history?
No such tool is currently available.
-
5. What response time can I expect after submitting an online claim? And what communications channel is used?
We aim to respond within 10 business days mainly by email or phone.
