I too have had problems with Halo. Seem a tad better now.

Ping times seem irrelevant since I had as many probs with UK servers (40ms) as US (168ms). Also as someone else has pointed out elsewhere, ping (ICMP) is lower priority than other traffic. I had disconnects and packet loss, jerky play etc.

It's very hard to nail down as everyone blames the other and the symptoms don't affect everything or everyone and tests run by CS seem to show no problems.
