I can confirm this as I knew someone from Australia and the term "Aussie lag" is forever imbedded into my brain because anytime we'd try to play something online with him, he would just lag. He had to actually learn how to play games with at minimum 180 ping (most the time it was more like 200-300) that I'd just see him try to move ahead of what he thinks is going on in the game and not what is actually going on, because otherwise he can't react fast enough. This is why Aussies tend to need OCE servers to play online games or else they just quit, because trying to play in NA servers is so painful due to distance and Aussie internet.
