Hi all. So I'm getting some anomalies with response times with Bet Angel, particularly with in-play betting. I'm based in Australia with a high quality 100mbps wired connection and the normal ping time to the BF API is around 350ms. That's fine, I know I can't defeat the laws of physics but on some occasions pre-off I'm getting response times of 2+ seconds and virtually every time in-play there is massive latency, sometimes up to 5 seconds (talking horse racing here so the BF delay is only 1 sec). It seems that BF is doing some weird routing for some pre-off bets and pretty much all in-play bets.

Using a VPS to manually trade improves things quite a bit (but adds that extra jump in the process), would a VPN be of any use in avoiding these weird routing issues? Any other Aus based traders had a similar experience? Cheers.
