Theres at least 3 MAIN cable links that aust uses, plus ya satalite bandwidth as well, there is no real problem with these links(except Satalites Very High latency), and depending where and how your isp routes traffic, depends which you one you end up using...and they don't all depart from sydney.
The real issue of ping times is just plain old distance, you could have fibre direct from your house to the US servers and you will still get higher pings than the US players.

Lately theres alot of serverside latency issues imo.

Maintainance time is an issue for me since it smack bang right in the middle of peak time, but I guess you just work around it.
