We added an Australia (Sydney) region across our entire game lineup. If your players are in Australia, New Zealand, or the broader Oceania region, this is the node to pick.
Why Sydney
Sydney is the natural hub for Oceania gaming traffic. Players in eastern Australia and New Zealand sit close to it, while our Singapore and Netherlands nodes are a long way off for them. The numbers below show how big that gap is.
Every plan on this region includes DDoS protection by default and runs on AMD Ryzen 9 5950X with NVMe SSD storage.
Ping to Sydney: Public Measurements
WonderNetwork publishes hourly ping times between its own servers in major cities. Each figure below is the median of WonderNetwork's hourly average pings from Sydney between 14 and 28 September 2026, read from wondernetwork.com/pings/Sydney on 28 September 2026. A player in each city sees roughly this, plus whatever their own connection adds.
| Sydney to | Typical ping (median of hourly averages) |
|---|---|
| Melbourne | 10ms |
| Brisbane | 12ms |
| Adelaide | 19ms |
| Auckland | 29ms |
| Wellington | 37ms |
| Perth | 46ms |
| Tokyo | 99ms |
| Seoul | 137ms |
| San Jose | 149ms |
| Los Angeles | 160ms |
| Singapore | 166ms |
| New York | 203ms |
| Amsterdam | 278ms |
| Frankfurt | 301ms |
The route matters as much as the distance. Over those two weeks WonderNetwork's Sydney to Singapore path was slower than its Sydney to Tokyo path, even though Singapore is closer, and your provider may route differently again. For your own numbers, open any game page below and look at the region selector: it measures your ping to every Space-Node location, Sydney included, from your browser.

When to Pick Australia (Sydney) vs Our Other Regions
- Your players are in Australia or New Zealand: Sydney wins, no contest.
- Your players are in Southeast Asia and Oceania: compare Sydney and Singapore. Players in Indonesia or Malaysia will usually get lower ping to Singapore, but Australian and NZ players will be much better off on Sydney.
- Your players are spread across the US: our Canada node or USA (California) are the right pick.
- Your players are in Europe: stick with Netherlands or Germany.
