[Data Center USA] Ping increased. Report your changes here.

Truth be told, that's likely the main issue for US gamers.

I'm currently playing from germany, which means around 3600 miles away. My connection to the servers in Montreal had around 110-120 MS latency and 5% packet loss. The infrastructure on the way being an ocean. When an US person tells me:"Under 100 MS latency coast to coast is possible at times", I wonder what exactly the cable providers in the US do with your signal on the way most of the times. It must be taking the scenic route for sure.

Comparing your 3600 mile / 120 ms ping (RTT) to that of a 2600 mile 80 ms ping (RTT) is virtually identical. Unless it wasn't worded correctly I may have missed the point being made? :-/
