This is fine for people that live close to the servers yet all of us that live in Africa/Aus/South America immediately get shafted, I used to play WoW with 500 ms constantly on the US servers from Chile...my intenret back then was 30mb broadband so its not really a case of good intenret, its server location....I don't even want to know what its going to be like when im in Zambia :(
I don't mean to sound like an ass, but I am pretty sure Blizzard took that into consideration and figured that the people in your predicament would make up a very small percentage of the player base.
