[citation][nom]Cats_Paw[/nom]So what? If i want to play a game with someone in Asia or USA i still get a high ping and any cool games are bearly playable at a profesional level.[/citation]
Ping is primarily dependant upon distance. You can't reduce the physical distance between places, so pings can only be lowered so much. And also keep in mind that the light doesn't travel from the host to server in a straight line. The pings are fine.
 
One Third of the World's Households Have Broadband Access

Would be interesting to see what proportion of the human population have *any* internet access. I suspect that many aren't fortunate enough to have a household.

Just go to any McDonald's or mall, and boom! Instant internet access. Wireless access, that is.

Even some public parks have them.

72.4% of America has broadband, yet living in a metropolitan area with a population of half a million that's an hour and a half from Philadelphia and even closer to Baltimore and it's still hard to get broadband here. Yet, I can go to one of the most rural areas in the state of Pennsylvania and get DSL. What's going on here?
