You are good enough for TGs and I know how to balance you. That's all that matters.

There is no bubble. It is what it is. Get used to LLMs

Using a VPN could also solve it for you.   The two possible solutions would be - dedicated servers: https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/issues/3556 - support for IPv6: https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/issues/4301 both of which, yeah, aren't trivial to implement.

after the ai bubble bursts,hopefully the prices come down enough for crowdfunded people like WFG to get smth like it

I don’t mean to suggest that your observations aren’t a valid concern, I’ve also experienced connectivity issues after switching ISPs, and I’ve felt some frustration. I’m not the right person to give a definitive answer. However, my limited understanding of the topic leads me to think that moving from a P2P system to a server-based one is not as trivial as it might seem. I hope I'm wrong  about this
