The ping doesn't necessarily mean if the host is good or bad. It's probably just because your location is farther than the past host :p
Someone found out the host, I looked it up, hosted in Canada. I'm half tempted to say Canada as 'Car-nar-dar' now xD
Can I just say that most pings under 50 ish are pretty darn good. Minecraft shouldn't lag your ping compared to most other things.
You should be lucky you have such a low ping :P I had 150ms :P Now that it's in canada, its much lower for me :)
OVH is the new host, AFAIK. OVH is hosted in Canada. naturally, people in Canada will have a lower ping.
It's normal for me. But when my internet is really bad then the connection is really bad than my normal lag....
