Well currently I am in China, I am just wondering if there is a way to speed up my connection to the server 'cause currently I get around 1-4 second delays which is a pain in the ass
If I were you I would try a proxy that is based closer to the server location. Other than that, location does vary. Try an online cafe.
There's this, but I think the free version only has a U.S. mirror. http://www.hotspotshield.com/ Try going to speedtest.net and pingtest.net to see if it's your local connection or your route to the server that's the problem. Another test you can run is type the following in CMD if you're on Windows and copy and paste the result here. Code: tracert alice.sk89q.com
You're only using your phone for internet, so you can still use tracert on the computer. Hotspot/Expat Shield would also work since it's on the computer, and the computer connects that way. Not sure what the laws are in China, and if this would work with the "Golden Shield" and whatnot, but you can try.
