So how's Australia connectivity to Singapore atm?   One of the ISP's in New Zealand is randomly routing via the US... Telstraclear is generally routing via
Japan/Hong Kong.  But from reading about the Singapore Battle.net server for Starcraft 2, it sounded like Australia has a lot of ISP's with bad Asia routing in
general so may not make much difference.

Google appears to still go to China?
