Getting really bad latency to some australian servers, whereas i usually average about 40-60 for sydney and up to 100 for other parts of australia.

One example is a server i used to get 90 to (quite high for a sydney server) located at 202.60.88.4. About a month or two ago, this became 200, and as of this week has now increased to around 280, spiking to 300. As a comparison i get as low as 150 to west coast USA and as low as 350 to parts europe, and around 12 to auckland (from hamilton).
Note this is not the only server with huge ping, just an example.

Obviously via tokyo is not the shortest route.
202.60.65.237 is another example of a server with stupidly high ping, which also takes the same route to get to australia.

Anyone else been having issues? Can someone else try a trace? This is concerning because our main reason for joing PDQ w/o interleaving was to decrease latency, and 2 months ago everything was perfect, so something's changed, then got worse.
