Has anyone noticed the change in international latency on the SAIX network?
I used to get around 270ms to the following server: mume.pvv.org
For the past month and a bit it's sitting on 380ms.

Feel free to post pings to that address and post them here. Include your ISP, I'm looking to change from Stormnet because of this.
 
IS 512K uncapped ADSL: (international via Satellite)

C:\>ping mume.pvv.org

Right on the money Brooko. I have no doubt SAIX have changed routing on international traffic. What gives? Two years of a constant 270ms then 1 month of terrible packet loss (which I believe is when they were changing the routing) and now two months of a constant 380ms.

Its been pretty bad lately, been feeling it in World of Warcraft especially, used to get 400-600ms, haven't had under 800ms in the last month or so.
