Yeah, if you're on MWeb then you are contending with peering issues. Unless you get a IS account then as Jarrod says you wont get playable ping to SGS. You can try iGame and Wage. I am on IS and I gotta say, all the BC2 servers are KAK at the moment. I think there's a lot of packet loss going on between the players on Telkom's network and those on other networks and the result is serious game lag, even when you get a decent server ping. Shadey, Lee and I tried BC2 last night but gave up and played BO. For some reason BO is less affected by the peering issues.

Here is some info on the peering:

Dude do a tracert to iGame, Wage and SGS servers. If there are serious delays to all then send an email to Mweb with the traces and ask them like WFT man?

Actually, run traces from both your machine and Iggy's and post all the results here, lets see WTF is going on.
