They are normally around 350ms. TelkomInterent account.
 
It's been like that for a while though... Can't play online games without lag at all.... Thought it was just me ^.^
 
ouch - that is bad. Been playing AA, haven't noticed and lag. Ping times are also fine. Then again, its on the local AA servers.
 
I'll load up my WA prepaid account later today and check that out.
 
I have had some very bad pings of late. The other night i tried to play WOW, but got ping around 2300ms. Normally i get round 700ms on a normal shaped Telkom account.
