Still at about 8s this morning from the US. Might just be latent DNS issues or something...hopefully it'll settle down today. I've also noticed a lot of issues since the 1.5 update related to this so that might be contributing as well.
Thats possible, but i was also thinking...
This ip adress is brand new and it maybe takes some time to get indexed by all servers in the world.
If i do a speedtest.net i get 10 Mbit up and 90 Mbit Down so i cant think of another explanation.
What do u guys get when going to start > run > cmd
and then in the command prompt type 'ping maxloader.nl' (without www.)
How much latency do u get there?
Just tested through SSH from the box I play on at home and my ping from there is around 120ms. It may still be a propagation issue so I wouldn't reinstall the server yet. I didn't try pinging last night so I have nothing to compare it to.
I also mentioned before I've seen a lot more ping-related issues since the 1.5 update so it's probably not only the server move that affected it.
I'll retest and see if it's gotten any better when I get home in 4ish hours.
Edit: Just read your shout about vanilla install being fine.
