I've been offered a long term job in Budapest. So, the most important question - what is the 'net like over there? Does anyone live there? What sort of pings do you get (esp to UK)?

zero lives there ask him!

Expect > 50 ms. Just look at Zero's ping

GERMANY=25 MS .NL, .DK=38, .fi .uk .swe=52 Im from Pécs, the cultural capitol of .HU, but i guess they can get the same, or lower. Correct me if im wrong. (javítsatok ki ha tévedek.) Have a great time in Hungary

it depends on the district where u will live. Zero has a bad isp. there are betters ofc if you will choose your flat wise. I have 38 to DK and pay only 2500huf

Thanks for the info - if I go it will most likely be to district 5 - can walk to work then ;-)

"District 5", atleast it sounds nicer than if you were to live in "District 9"

Don't forget to go to the all you can eat & drink Mongolian bbq if you want a spectacular dinner 8)
