Well I'm in the UK and previously my ping was anywhere between 190 up to 250 but now its down at 140/150 so a big improvement for me but it does lag sometimes but no where near what I had before which was really really hard to play. When you start hitting the 200's especially 230 plus then it gets difficult to do much on those servers.
I am really enjoying the new server back to the good old days and come September/October when they up the BB speed in this area it should make it even better for me...happy days!
