This is awesome. This will really get the RIAA pissed if they can't force ISP's to give away all their information and cut connections. 50 years from now Kim Dot Com will be a hero.

I would think the Eastern Pacific Rise is going to be a bit of a problem.

The dude seriously needs to get a less douchey last name. Dotcom... really? He didn't even change his girly first name.

That's my contribution to this thread, I'll see my way out.

lol. Yeah that is a pretty crappy name.

I would think that if they made a donation page for this a lot of New Zealanders would give a couple bucks. I know I would if I lived there.

I have trouble finding US servers in BF3 when I search for Hardcore TDM...Even with other common presets too.

The "WoW Oceania" servers are hosted elsewhere, not in oceania, it's just the timezone on the servers that corrisponds to oceania.

You are looking at about 8 to 9ms per 1,000 miles depending on fiber type, not including latency added by hardware. Sooo....rough estimate would be about 162ms round trip from mainland USA to NZ using 9ms per 1,000 going 9,000 miles. Factor in for hardware latency at both ends and you should stay around 200ms from fiber end to fiber end. Now clients off of those ends, the person sitting at their computer connecting to a west coast game server, should see under 300ms of latency. Something around 250.
If they used the "good stuff" and went into LA they would be around 7,300 miles of fiber at about 8ms of latency, putting them at about 117ms of latency round trip. Then just add on for the hardware and to the actual clients at each end. In any case service would be hugely improved for NZ and the gamers if they could get this sort of thing going.
Yea, if this were to happen it wouldn't be a small bundle, it would have massive data capacity. It is the only way of doing it really, Kim could become a huge huge huge deal in NZ if he did this. The Google of NZ!

I live in center-southisland in NZ and have 150ping to most U.S based servers, living quite far from the local exchange aswell, universities have ~100-120ping to U.S based servers.
What you're saying is ping would double? tongue.gif I don't think so.

Never had a problem with online gaming, nor with data caps (unlimited ($61/m nzd) or 250gb ($51/m nzd)) @ 16k, 1.6k down/up. (current connection), faster/slower elsewhere in the country.

NZ internet right now isn't as hell as it may seem lol, unless you're way way out in rural.

Glad you felt the need to ignore the rest of my post, as it pertains to your exact situation is pretty freaking accurate....

What I said is perfectly accurate in both situations, it is just a matter of how it is deployed and the hardware at each end. Thanks for playing.

EDIT: These numbers are all relevant to your West Coast US servers, going to the East Coast you were further increase trip time, but not by a lot.

I didn't ignore it, but I've seen even less ping than 117 from NZ to places in the US, in some cases less than 100, no ping is concrete, but your estimations are close.
No need for hostility.

I'm talking in terms of current lines to the U.S.
~100-170 (depending what connection you're on, residential, uni, etc) and location.

Direction connection may improve some things, but overall ping times won't go down very much i would imagine.
