Ping is fine but in game is consistently high

[meme_supreme]

Hi
I'm new and already my first two games have been a disaster. I have played a game with full ping and intentionally left a game in the second.

However the reason for this; I don't mind the ban for me leaving the game, but more importantly why the issue comes up.
The issue is that since im playing from Australia, I would usually get a ping of around 120-150ms playing in a standard ent game from US West and I would use !checkme

!checkme would say around 120-150 ms which is perfect ping from someone not near NA at all
However when the game launches, and say for example Dota it is constantly 500 ping or above in game.
My 2 dota games are an example of this

I played a wintermaul game using the ent servers afterwards and it was perfectly fine in game and whilst waiting for people to queue up at the lobby.
Is there a reason for this?

NBN fucken you up? I'm aussie also and the lag gets ridiculous sometimes

Yeah I am Aussie!
And NBN is a little bit frustrating at times
But I find it strange that if I play Wintermaul one/castlefight: Lobby 120 ms, in game 120 ms
But I play Dota Lobby 120ms, in game 500+ ms constant

Guess it's just your geo or provider, nothing we can do...
