Only one player has extremely bad ping

Hey, I launched a server couple of weeks ago and one of my friend has a extremely bad ping, and the interesting part is when he's afk the ping is like 51 but when he goes to the nether or starts to pvp it's goes to like 3000. Anyone got ideas why?

is he in australia or another location without good connection and far from servers? the changing of ping between afk and nehter/pvp makes sense as the game and server are having to share more information with each other -an australian server admin who struggles to even join his own server

No, he's in Estonia same as I and I have a perfect ping and some other players too. But just he has the bad ping

uhhh ask player if they're using ethenet cable or wifi adapter

ethernet cable would be miles better, yes also the problem is (most likely) unrelated to minecraft and the amount of possible problems that could go wrong, makes it difficult to pin down the problem exactly

does the player have a different device they can connect to server preferably an android phone since u can fully play mc java on it as if ur playing on pc well maybe any device

yes you dont need geyser tho it's probably an issue on his end tho does it happen with other games? @Acemavie

yesh its an issue on his end not just minecraft tell him to turn both modem and router off for like few minutes unless he got a router modem combo then turn it on after those few minutes unless there's a greater issue and he needs to contact his ISP
