My ping times to perpetuum-online.com are 179ms from work.
Ping times to fra03.cogent, which is the landing in germany, are 161ms.
So from Germany to the server is only 18ms, which means the network between Germany and Budapest isn't where the latency problem lies.
From me to the last US router, ping times are 63ms, which means its 116ms of delay from the shores of the US until the packet is next routed in FRA03.
