I have to completely disagree with you here.
I live in AZ, near where the servers are hosted, and I have pretty good internet. Although I get about 20 Ping to MCSG, there are still a LOT of lag spikes (I also have a decent PC that runs about 100 frames on short +32, and I have 3GB of RAM on Minecraft).
I don't want to be rude here, but MCSG's connection has been very unreliable (At least in US). The horrible lag makes it very hard for clans to scrim, and games are now often unfair due to the lag. It's been going on for over a month now, I'm honestly a bit disapointed that it hasn't been fixed (I think it might be a cubedhost issue)
