If that is true...NA server is still alot further than Singapore (still on the otherside of the world). Singapore is quite close to Australia as well.

Beside the server may be in Singapore, but the connection from Singapore to Australia via ISPs in Australia, has an affect on the speeds that affects the Consumer. So Australian Government can still improve the internet for Australia. So it's not just where the server is located.

If the server distance was the problem, i would be lagging much more in NA, than in SEA. Thing is I am not lagging in NA.

are you with optus?

edit:

if so the traceroute for optus to sea server is really weird, it goes to singapore then to NA then back to singapore and back to australia so it's effectively twice the ping of NA.

Yeah I am with Optus. Telstra better?

Is that true? How do you know?

But...if i go to NA on NA Server i got no lag? Is it because i am going there directly? If this is SEA server, why is it routing back to NA?

SLCNPezz · Sun, 29th-Sep-2013, 4:46 PM

It goes Aus -> NA -> SG -> NA -> Aus. Cause Optus are too cheap to pay for any bandwidth on the direct line from Aus -> SG where Telstra does.

This gives most peopl 4-500 ping to SEA with optus, which you can kinda get used to when you're playing vs. terrible people, but it also seems to spike a lot which sucks balls.

Yep, i sometimes have a hard time playing on the SEA server and my provider is optus. Still, im sure this is abbots fault somehow.

Pretty sure there used to be another country in that hop sequence when i was with optus. japan or malaysia or something.

Yes, I think you're right... I don't run the test often as nothing changes. But the general pattern is there (Asia via NA), which clearly shows why it's so slow.

EDIT: You can see on the cable map (http://www.submarinecablemap.com/#/) that there is no direct link from NA->SG. pretty irrelevant though as it's not like the routing is particularly bad through that section. It's the retarded going to anywhere in Asia via NA that causes all the problems for SEA.
