SE should consider providing its own VPN network to solve the lag problem

A problem exists with their product service, so it is their fault. Would you goto the grocery store, and buy spoiled fruits, and when you ask the manager about the spoiled fruits, he says "its not our problem, our vendor supplied them to us like that nothing we can do!"? They would probably (already have) losing customers.

Your analogy doesn't work. It would be more like an intersection on the way to the store is clogged because everyone uses it, so you complain to the store manager to fix it.

No, the problem doesn't exist with their product service. The problem exists with underlying internet infrastructure carrying data to the datacenter that SE is using. Short of moving to a new datacenter, there is little they can do to solve that problem.

This thread is like watching the two of you talk to a brick wall. Maybe if they repeat "netcode" enough it will become the actual root of the problem.

I'm just happy that someone understands it.

None of this is meant to imply that SE has written perfect server software, but the issue at hand has nothing to do with that.

Spot on Ispano and thanks Alhanelem for keeping it civilized.

Well I would. I would complain about why they decided to set up at a location where you can't get to.

It's as real estate agency's say, location, location and location. S-E didn't bother to check if the location they setup shop at could handle it. Most likely they only considered the cost.
