+1 for this server in the asia pacific region, hopefully the data centre you've chosen in asia is a lower ping for me here in Australia, uswest and to a lesser extent useast aren't so bad but eu is definitely not Australia friendly at 350ms+ (although some pools and internet sites dream of being as low as 350 haha).
The server is actually physically up, just not active for mining. You can test with a ping to see if its better (please anyone that tests that would normally use an asia server post results):
Saying it again, because some people don't read things unless its in bold and allcaps.
THIS IS NOT UP FOR MINING, ONLY TESTING FOR PING PURPOSESping sea.wafflepool.com
