I have users that test in singapore that are happy with the results man... you must have a problem in the route between my server and your provider... or a problem with your NIC.. trust me. I picked the location of this server for a reason.
I myself doing a tracert to testmy.net in comparison to google, I have like 5 more hops going to google beleive it or not...
only 13 hops
17 hops!
Here is a visual tracert, first testmy.net to virginia, then testmy.net to London finally testmy.net to Switzerland. All trace a direct path to the target server.
Dulles, Virginia
London, England
Bern, Switzerland
Sorry, but the problem has to either be on your end... or a problem with one of your providers connections... run a tracert to testmy.net (start,run,"cmd", "tracert testmy.net", enter)... I am sure you will see that you either have a lot of hops or that there is one hop or more that either hangs or has a horible ping.
