Glade posted in the IeSF signup thread that he was getting better ping to NA than SEA, and a few people shared his view. I would be very interested in getting some data on this (not opinions, but raw facts), so i'd like to get some peoples tracert information
How do you do this?
Press Windows Key + R
Type 'cmd' -> Enter
This opens a dialogue box. Type in: tracert 202.9.67.254
This will run the tracert. Take note of the ping at the last hop. This is for the SEA server
tracert 12.129.202.154
Record the ping in the last hop here too, this is the NA server
Then post in this thread with your Location and ISP, for example me:
Sydney - Telstra ADSL2
163ms - SEA
160ms - NA
Might get more accurate results waiting until the weekend (peak) before doing this. Traffic is at an all-time low during the weekdays! Food for thought.
Decided to add KR in just for the curious.
This was only for today; but usually NA goes around 165-190ms, while SEA goes 170-200ms. KR's about 170-190 ms.
Everyone uses net at my home and sometimes I do get spikes on all three servers of around 230 ms or so.

Q_Q'd.
SEA - 240-245ms
routes from perth to sydney then to singapore, which accounts for the extra 60ms over sydney pings of ~180
shouldn't this go from perth to sg direct, I believe there is a submarine cable...
NA - 230ms (also goes via sydney but this is to be expected)

Testing from work, to see if it's any better.
Perth - Amcom Fibre 150Mbit
SEA - 205ms (tracert goes perth>adel>melb>syd>sg ??)
NA - 204ms (still better than SEA)
I use to get 80-120 ping from Rural SA to SEA and about 210 to NA with internode , Ill check when I get home. If its gone upto 200 all you bloody iinet people should go back to your own over populated network!
