Now theres an idea, and you are the expert, currently naturally we log onto one set of servers in one place as a physical entity, is it possible to set up other servers to log onto (i.e. Australia) to reduce ping, I presume not as people would do it now, I realise that for co-ordination you need control in one spot, but the control might not necessarily need to be in the backbone (hey) i.e. satellite. Anyone out there a geek? or work in the industry, changes and revolutions happen all the time, as nothing is faster than the speed of light (don't start) could we see speed of light information transmission globally soon, eliminating or reducing ping. I play with people from all over the world and I'm glad the Aussies and NZ's have a high ping, they slaughter me now, God knows what they'd be like on a level playing field. Sitting ???
