Duocast is finally getting the late Level 3 transit link to their network. Hopefully pings will be a little better in Europe and the US.

What do you think?

I often think about sex.

But this should be good, luckily my ping already is 30-40.

Nice :)
I have a few US friends who complain abit over the MS when we play against eachother on the servers. :v

I have no clue as to what a level 3 transit link is.. So my only thoughts are: "It sounds cool!"

But lower ping for all the US players is always welcome! :)

Essentially its adding new connections to the network where the server is located, giving it direct access to Level3's backbone network over the transatlantic and to mainland europe, giving faster connections speeds and lower pings.

There was some delay, but they've got the link now. It's not in use for the customers yet (like us), but they're currently testing the link and routes. :)
