As i had posted i get a ping of 165 in servers,i decided to connect to australian servers as i am in asia so maybe i can get a ping of nearby 100 in those servers.Those servers suk they show a ping of 280-300.They must be supported by sik connection speeds.The distance being less the ping is increasing,LOL.In UK which is far frm asia i get a ping of 135-165 and here inspite of nearness to the server the ping suk.Y so?.I think they are not suppported by good connections.What do u all say about this topic?

I say that this topic is pointless. The reason Australian servers are laggy compared to other servers is because Australia is many miles away from another major land mass. The Australian servers are there for Australian players. Just like Australian FTP download sites are there for Australians, because anybody else who tries to log onto them gets horrible speed.

The Euro servers are equipped with fiber optic connections for inter-continental connections. The Australian servers are not.

Yeah, we have wombats-on-treadmills powered dialup. Actually, it's to do with sattelites. Aus is pretty far off the equator (or at least any city with a Halo server), so it takes a while for data to go from Asia, up to the sat, and down to, say, Melbourne. Or I could have it completely wrong and dingoes are chewing through the cable connection. W/ever.

Never mock the wombat! They can run up to 35km/h in short bursts. That's way faster than you.

Any type of serious internet connection, and especially ones that are trans oceanic are definatly fiber optic. Most of the internet's ifrastructure is fiber optic siince copper is not able to transmit over such long distances at such speed.
