Thanks for the reply, I do not know my ping rates but I can tell you that when in conversation with someone the U.S. and I speak a quick sentence, I can usually get an echo back to my own computer, of my voice speaking, within about a second. So that is a round trip of my voice to their speakers and back. So the latency isn't too bad. Know any good sites to ping that wont time you out? I could give you a better answer.
