Now, the app always reports my latency as 30ms+. My speedtest is showing 1Gb/sec. Pings to you show 40ms+ average. A tracerte to a dallas.nodebalancer shows about 2ms response time and then shows no further network devices. I suspect the latency is not on my side? Is that to be expected at the current time? I understand you have a lot of activity. I can connect fine and start a session, albeit with the notice my latency is high on my gear.
I noted the port forwarding posts but it was working perfectly before and UDP ports shouldn't be causing latency issues.
I can connect, it's just the latency shown in the session by the app. Is the latency shown in the app the actual latency, or is it a false indication?
Please advise. Content to wait if it is a network performance or server capacity issue on your side. Happy Easter!
Thanks!

The jkz app creates a p2p session with the people you're connecting/playing with. So the server takes no part in that and therefore does not add any latency to the situation.
Your latency being 30+ is worth investigating. Where are you picking up this delay? Is it jitter, is in your gear or in your internet/network connection? The total latency of a p2p connection should be as low as you can get it. Typically anything under 20ms will be a very 'playable' situation.
Your gear should be (way)under 10ms really to have any chance of reaching the above.
