    Why can people from the UK get 150 ping to here, but we get 180 to the UK?

    My questions is exactly as the title says. I have plenty of friends from the UK who get 150 ping to any of our local servers, and yet when we connect to UK servers, we have a minimum of 180. Why is that? And if there's a way to fix it, how would one go about it? Could our ISPs optimize their...

    Latency while downloading.

    So this is a problem that all gamers in SA face. Too many games of counterstrike and dota are punctuated by "F*** I'm lagging" followed shortly by (off stage) "WHO THE HELL IS DOWNLOADING?". All the research I have done suggests that it's only South Africans that get high ping/latency when...
