Hi I live in Cambodia. We have exceptional internet speeds here however whenever I play here or in Vietnam I lose the vast majority of 3mn games to time. The lag over the app is terrible even though it shows full bars. One game I had over 1 minute remaining to my oppoents 20 secs and then 3 moves later I was out of time and he still had 7 secs. 

 

I am wondering does a paid membership give us access to faster servers? I am more than happy to pay for a diamond membership if I can play on a level field to those in developed countries but its frustrating being in a clear winning positin then watching the time shift and losing when it looks ike yu're up on time.

I am not making excuses nor am I accusing anyone of of cheating, I'm just tryng to look for a constructive answer so please make civil comments only. Thank you.

I don't believe there are faster servers. However, premium members don't have all the ad content, which must slow performance. Even if you have an ad blocker, that is a separate process which has to recognize scripts and stop their execution.

It is not hard to believe that these things would slow performance.

Thanks notmtwain. That makes sense however if I happen to be further away from a host server would I also not experience lag?
