Here is a fun thing to consider, only in more recent years have ISPs jerked around server traffic like they have been doing. Depending on the time of day I play I get a wildly different experience going to the same servers over in Canada. This is the cost for not raising more hell about Net Neutrality, expect things to get worse until Gigabit internet is more ubiquitous and it might balance out a bit. Currently though they have us as well as SE by the balls.
Also polling position that often is absolutely unneeded, 1-10 ms is far faster than any human can react and it just wasting bandwidth/resources.
