Think I understand the benefits of lower pings? Just dont realy understand how it work? You have a MASSIVE difference in Ping rates! What would cause that?

Yes.  Think of it as the time to send a signal to the server and have it come back.

my internet is cable WI-FI direct wired with Ethernet cable--758 kilobits. in the Melee arena my ping fluctuates between 33 and 50 pings per second.
in the test arena its 83 pings per second--when I had satellite internet it was 633 to 650 pings per second.

I took a quick look.  Melee was showing 83, the test arena would bounce between 83 and 100-120ms.

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

It's just the route things take to and from the server.   Your guess is as good as mine.

This new arena kicked me out.
UDP to TCP and  few seconds from that Host connection lost.

That is odd.  Most players from Finland are finding it to be a better connection.

I have a good connection already but the test arena has a better ping.   

20-30 in the test arena and 50-60 in the others.

Seems like some of us in Texas are taking a small hit.

new test ma = 100 ping
all other arenas = 50 ping

Just lost connection in new test arena (the old udp to tcp connection warning).  Everyone might have lost connection.  When I went to re-enter, new test population said no one was in there (0/1000).  I see little blips in variance when I occasionally check in game.  Frame rate is 60 or so as in old MA arena.
