    Lag is no excuse for not being able to do content, it just adds some slight extra challenge and kills some of the game experience.
    When I look at gameplay from JP players on youtube, my gaming experience is nowhere close as smooth as their. I dont expect SE to move servers or anything like that just maybe turn more stuff client based or something. There is a fine line where you decide what goes server side and whats client side.
    I assume that your using a router that has some configurable settings, have you tried setting a static route in it's routing table to give yourself a minimal hop count, it might cut out some of those 250+ms hops your getting. You may be able to do this in windows too but having it in the hardware might make it a little faster.

    I doubt I can tweak it any further. I'm on fiber optics all way to Oslo where the traffic jumps all way to Texas. Even tho I have many jumps most of the on the start and end of the route are just local switches. Apart from that I only have 2 big jumps;
    Norway>Texas 160ms
    Texas>Japan 130ms

    Too bad the programmers and testers are JP ONRY and they don't experience the network stuttering others do. I bet JP casters never need to stop and pause 500ms before casting spells...
