I live in South Florida and I have no issue playing on West Coast servers. Heck, even when PS1 released, I picked Markov, not paying attention that it was a West Coast server. I don't understand where the issues are coming from. Why can't you play with 100-150ms?

I'm sure they will have the servers in Texas for the US and the EU servers somewhere in Ireland.

Damn, this thread is full of misinformation.

More bandwidth from your ISP does not equal lower ping times. Bandwidth and latency, two entirely different things.

And as I posted above, latency doesn't even really matter either, it's jitter. This whole discussion is ridiculous. If I could put you all through a WAN Networking 101 course this thread would be dead in a minute.
