I live in BC (Canadian West Coast).
On the previous server location (in the same country), I was getting ~120 ms ping with no packet loss. Not that nice (compared to the 15 ms i got when I was living in Japan and playing on a JP server), but playable.
I pinged the server from work (business line), and I was happy to see a constant 35 ms ping! Great !
Then I went back home (non business line). And I am crying...

--- 204.2.229.9 ping statistics ---
429 packets transmitted, 419 received, 2% packet loss, time 428552ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 28.498/106.945/956.069/89.694 ms

same "average" ping as before (even if the new server location is 2000 miles closer to before), and packet losses. I know this will make the game unplayable...
