WA internet gets routed through Sydney so I don't see the distance factor playing in at all. Also 50ms is very significant when gaming.

Are you sure you are actually going via Sydney? You might be taking copper via Darwin or something. Otherwise there is no way Perth -> Singapore is faster than Mel -> Singapore.

No, the route goes direct from Perth to Singapore, there is a cable system connecting Perth to MY/SG, here are the cable systems:

Seems like traffic from the East Coast is getting routed through the long east cable system and not through Perth with resulting pings about the same as to L.A.

I stand corrected.

Although your map is only of international routing. Would be usefull to see a domestic map and get some info on which isps are routing long ways and which are taking the shortcuts.

(This is supposed to be the last stop)
When doing a traceroute to servers in Los Angeles, the last hop should be one of the following:

* 12.129.193.242
* 12.129.193.246


Singapore: 247ms
Blackrock (WoW PvP) Los Angeles:217ms (+- 1).

That's about 30ms faster to the Blizzard server which is what you would expect, in fact the total latency is 3ms off what I predicted, and 11ms from the end of the cable to the actual server which is 9ms out of my prediction.

The problem has nothing to do with the distance, it is the quality of the network, which is what I said earlier.

Where is the cable from perth to singapore? I don't see it.
EDIT: Found it, its the little white line that is almost impossible to see.

Also it would be a lot faster to go via the long east cable system than go via Perth

Here is the southern cross cable. This is the cable that is used to go to LA.

Argh, I just simply can't express my anger through words. I don't care for a 50ms difference in ping if the people speak English.

Firstly KL is not Singapore.

Also I'm very happy there is going to be a SEA server, playing with pings like I used to get in WoW and War3 would make me sad.
Region locking is just plain greedy and unfair by Blizzard, but I don't think it will really affect me.

Heck, who wants to play with americans over asians anyway?

No, the network quality is fine, your routing is bad, which has nothing to do with the network quality.
Try any of these and see if you can get better results:

I tested the pings from a few AUS ISPs and its about 150ms from Sydney to Singapore via the long cable systems (which is with 10-15ms lower then to L.A.) , also from Sydney to Singapore via Melbourne->Adelaide->Perth is 100ms, which will give you about 88ms ping from Melbourne to Perth (since Syd->Melb is 12ms) which compared to 168ms to L.A. is almost half the latency.
About which ISPs route via Perth, well some do some destinations and some do other destinations and some dont do any, you have to test it. But Optus (which is owned by SingTel, the Singapore Telecom) and AARNet (the university network) routed all of the above destinations via Perth.
Go to AARNet's web site and test it for yourself:
http://lg.aarnet.edu.au/cgi-bin/lg
telnet://route-views.optus.net.au/ <--- Optus Route Server
Of course this doesnt mean you will get routed to through the same paths as shown on their route server.

I'll just be playing on the SEA servers , not the USA ones
it's tough enough to get my friends to play SC2 without also needing to explain to them they need to buy the USA copy of the game or whatever.
Once again back is the incredible!

Just another reason to move to hacked/private/pvpgn-esque b.net 2.0 servers when they become available.

Aus-1 (and later BoredAussies) was made for a reason.
