I'm with optus too, and to be fair, it hasn't bothered me terribly until recently when I've been playing against masters level opponents, and the delay really hurts when I actually have to split against banes or dodge storms, or I lose.

For the purposes of 'ISP which is good for SC2 specifically' though, yes, Optus is probably the worst for that use. Doesn't mean everyone will find it terrible.

I could give a rats ass about rep, just disagreeing with my statement with no basis is, in my opinion, idiotic, as it's been proven time and time again Optus produces worse ping responses than almost any other Australian ISP to singapore/malaysia etc (due to them not having access to Telstra's lines going there)

Spot on. I've bitched and moaned about this since the game has been out :|. Nothing can really be done about it unless you're stupid enough (like me) to buy a VPN for ~$8-10 a month to play on the server. I feel it's pretty worth it though as your ping goes from ~350-400 to 160-180..
