There has been some serious routing problem with Airtel in India. The Connections are being made across the world which is causing heavy ping. Since the problem is with Airtel, there is very less we can do to resolve the issues.
We are more concerned about the number of users of Airtel affected due to this and also with TOD Today, it will be really hard to play.
How to do a Trace Route:-
Trace route will determine how the connection is made to the remote host.
Start -> Run -> type "cmd" and press enter.
type "tracert acp.a3mania.com"
Wait for the trace to complete. Now, you can notice that the connections are made via USA and Singapore. I have added an example.
You can see that its getting connected via Singapore, USA, Europe and India, while there can be a direct connection.Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]

Trace complete.
Also you can notice that its due to Airtel issue at 7th Node.
Airtel Users please call your Customer Care and irritate them with this issue. Mention that it is a "Routing Problem". This is the only way in which it can be resolved.
If they deny that there is no problem with routing.. then slap the traceroute on their ass and ask why is the packets going to Singapore and USA and then coming to India?
I have checked with the server. There seem to be no issues.
