    First a bit of background. For some reason my ping to the EU servers are higher than the ones to the ones US East coast. Pings to cobalt flucuate between 130-200ms depending on time whereas East coast US down at the low 100's. Now I've done a bit of investigation. I've tried using 3 different PC's and also direcly connecting my gaming PC to my modem bypassing the router and still have the same issue. Nobody else I play with including people on the same ISP (Virginb Media) are having this issue.

    I ran a trace route and I think I found the issue

    8 129 ms 130 ms 130 ms ae-237-3613.edge6.Amsterdam1.Level3.net [4.69.162.242]

    Any thoughts on what I can do or if I'm barking up the wrong tree with this. Ill include the full traceroute below
