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

[Marishi-Ten]

To be honest it's not up to SE to solve problems relating to ISPs, so if anything your ISP should be providing a VPN service as an extra feature, not really SE.

Yes and no. Though the ISP (or backbone, node, hope, etc.) are the actual problem, the masses don't see it this way and instead blame the end point. The everyman doesn't care that Level3 is having issues with SBC or Verizon. All he knows is he can't play his game and it's their fault. Square could benefit from a VPN service to save name and face to the public though I personally hope they don't as it would just be a bigger mess than they already have.
