^ It has nothing to do with cable laying. I used to have ping even lower than yours (150 ping to EU and 40 ping to SG). The same day my ULD1091 plan came to effect the ping has ALWAYS been close to 300 consistently in spite of numerous router reboots. Other users on 1091 seem to be facing the same issue. Its obvious the dirty crooks at bsnl are forcing all 1091 plan users on a congested gateway.
