For more specific (and useful) test, we'd have to ping test Dust servers. You might get a great connection to google, for example, but the connection to CCPs server farms might be a different story due to # of hops, routing, physical location, etc. Anyone know their IP?

And only one server farm in EU? I thought they had 2-3: Iceland, UK, Amsterdam. edit: according to this Tranquility's IP is 87.237.38.200, in the UK. I pinged 87.237.38.200, and got around 16ms, which is very good for FPS Above 100 is questionable, anything above 150 is pretty much unplayable. Too bad there's no ping display in-game so we can't do it there.

Just pointing out where people might wanna troubleshooting first. Don't wanna be on the forums crying about the game is lagging when the problem lies with your own connection. Yes, it's a good place to start. But if you ping Tranquility you get your answer in one go - whether it's your general connection, or connection to Tranquility itself. Also you should look at dropped packets - you might have great ping, but if you have dropped packets (ie. data lost in transit) you'll get worse network performance. Windows ping command as described above by Spec Ops Cipher shows dropped packets. This shows the lag I see is game lag, or alternatively other people have bad connections.
