Update
As of 2 days ago the issue had seemed to be resolved on it's own and I also received the following message from telco today morning.
More: Hi <My Name>, there was an outage reported the past few days that results to high ping and latency issues. The outage has already been sorted. Should you need further assistance don't hesitate to call or send us an email at <telco email>. Thank you.
(Being with More Telecom, they have a history of sending outage and planned outage messages only after they have taken place -_-)
Thanks for everyone that contributed. I guess atleast in this instance, the latency was due to a telco problem and so glad I don't have to pack up and relocate to sydney :D

G'day,
So I've run into a latency issue with this game and was wondering if anyone else playing this game from Melbourne have similar experience.
The pings for multiplayer lobbies used to be around 18-30ms which was really good but since for about a week now all the lobbies I get into are a whopping 130-200ms or higher which is really bad :P . Also when I chat to the folks in game they're mostly located in asia (it used to be all aussie servers previously).
Was playing MW III open beta and latency is very similar to MW II (200ms+)
I'm with More Telecom (been with them for about 18 months or so) and using fttp fibre connection 100/40 Mbps. No changes to network infrastructure or pc or anything else that I can think of. The closest reason could be a routing issue from Telco.
If anyone has had this sort of problem before, did you manage to solve it? (i.e. did it go away after some time, or did you inform telco about it and they did something or is it something outside our reach and not worth looking into)
TIA :)
I had this exact issue in Melbourne. I adjusted my DNS settings, cleared my cache and moved to Sydney.
