My trace routes usually go:
Melbourne Hop ~50ms
Sydney Hop ~70ms
LA Hop ~200ms
etc....
So the problem is the undersea links to America which several companies are working to install new links (including Google I hear!) at the moment, if this makes any difference remains to be seen. I don't know why the AusGamers vote ended up like that, are people completely retarded? I would've waited 6months to get real Australian servers no worries.
