I have noticed recently (in the last 6 weeks or so), bad latency to Sydney (where many game servers are hosted..). I was previously getting around 30ms on fiber. Typically 3 to Auckland from Hamilton.. etc.
Can people post some tracert's to the following Amazon host to see what you are getting? 54.252.183.4

I had another friend do this from the trustpower network within a few minutes of mine, and he is getting speeds that match latency many weeks back.

Be interested to see what other slingshot customers are getting.
