Ping rates for local gamers are about 80~180ms from COD2 lar, since no other game I know of has the display.

Download speed varies according to date, time, alignment of stars, TMNet's attituide, your attituide, etc. etc.

all in all like Welwitcha hosting a game to fight other locals, no problems, playing with Singaporeans, no problems. Other countries... errr.. depends lar.
