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

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.

Spot on Ispano and thanks Alhanelem for keeping it civilized.

Instead of making their own VPN service. SE could strike a deal with for example WTFast. So we the players can either get a reduced cost to the 9.99$ a month WTFast costs or something. This way players feel treated right, WTFast (or other vpn service) gets reputation and customers. And SE will get happier customers. Adn we all know that a happy customer generates new customers.

I honestly don't know why everyone is going to WTFast first. Battleping and Pingzapper are much cheaper and usually give the same results.

If anyone does want to try out a VPN, test all three to see if there is any difference, if not, go with w/e is cheapest. (ie. Pingzapper is $10 for three months instead of WTFast's $10 per month).

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.
