Pick the right ISP to get the best play on STOL

In Australa we can hardly play STOL and when its a group we let down everyone else. What we need to do is an analsis of the trace route to the cryptic servers so we can pick the best ISP to play. FOr each ISP if a user types in "tracert patchserver.crypticstudios.com" and publishes the results we can establish a baseline comparison.

    I have no problems with my connection to sto through iinet here in melbourne.
    gameplay runs fine through any mission unless its a guaranteed one like crystalline catastrophe advanced when all the high end dps'ers are in the same instance and lag kicks in..
    but then im also on the fibre optic nbn connection..
    unsure why number 9 and 14 had request timed out, but heres my tracert anyways..

    * just an added note, i also use the u.s proxy server settings in launcher

      "The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."
