There is no "speediest" link. Latency, packet loss, and speeds change constantly. The problem is the 2 main Chinese ISPs - ChinaTelecom and ChinaUnicom.
Congestion and other issues will shift between backbones all the time, the only solution is a provider who has at least 3-4 providers that ALL have good connectivity to BOTH CT and CU so they can switch traffic at a moments notice when it goes to shit.
to US west coast
During evening, 300 ms ping (down 00.20 mpbs / up 2.00 mpbs).
During middle of night 150 ms ping (down 20.00 mpbs / up 2.00 mpbs)
some go on about this extra service, you need to pay more for

Thank the lovely lady because she's about to grant you your life back
Go to your router/modem (assuming you have your own) and add @vip1 to the end of your username

You can possibly try a route-optimized route from Los Angeles and Seattle. I could give you two IP's to test yourself in a PM?
Thanks for the offer - but I'm neither in China nor the USA.
I was hoping maybe some China-based users here could demonstrate which are the better Asia-optimized providers in the US.

Thanks very much, Sir - that's the kind of raw data I was hoping for, namely ping times and transfer rates.
There's clearly a major clusterf@%k going on during peak viewing time - on the Chinese side, obviously!
Edit:
Any personal experience with the "international high speed internet (开通国际金品网) " and whether things improve significantly??
Asia is "big". And generally you need to indicate which country.
Edit:
For China, you may use services like 17ce.com or alibench.com to test sites hosted in US or any other locations. The sites are in Chinese though.
Thanks for the input - much appreciated!!
I'd rather suggest putting a reverse proxy in Japan. When I was playing CN WOW I constantly experienced serious lag problem and 10000ms+ latency until I use a VPN that located in Japan. Hope this helps.
Thank you kindly, Sir - just the info I'm seeking.
japan is not the best as it does really suffer in night time, I find korea link better if you are into north america game server.
