U didnt get the point. The router which is giving 200 ms + pings is situated most probably in america . The one immediately before it, is in India, most probably in mumbai. So, naturally the mumbai router would give you lower pings than the router in america if u were to ping from Delhi coz of the distance involved.

The converse would be true for somebody pinging the same routers from america..for him the ping to routers in America would be low and pings to routers in india would be high..subject ofcourse to the traffic on the net and also the routing.

High and low is a matter of milliseconds over here. 1 sec = 1000 ms therefore a ping of about 250 ms or 1/4th of second can be expected from a router abt 13000 kms away and is completely normal and nobody is at fault for it.

Problem happens when the router starts dropping packets or gives abnormally high pings of 800-900 ms, which is when you should complain.
 
in case of yahoo a ping of 250ms hardly matters but incase of internet gaming a lag of 250ms can be disasterous for everyone on the server except for the host who gets 0ms ping. So i wud'nt say 1/4th os a sec is negligible.
 
Online gaming is a totally different aspect which depends a lot on ping but question here was simply whether a 200+ ping to a trans continental router is a sign of abnormality or not.. which evidently its not

Waise i had asked the question becoz of gaming only 😉 but then even the sites dont seem to open sometimes even yahoo sometimes just doesnt open. these things have started in recent weeks only and i did a trace ip on these ip's i think both the routers the one with 27 ms and the one with 280 ms were in India, one in delhi and one in maharashtra ( THE GUYS IN MUMBAI are lucky if this is right 😉 )i am not sure on this, maybe im wrong.

Can somebody from Mumbai and delhi confirm this.

For the websites, maybe the DNS is slow as somebody has suggested, in which case cant we specify alternate DNS addresses which are a bit faster and less congested 🙁 🙁
