Arnold,

I think you will find the problem likes between mainland China and Hong 
Kong (where Reach is based).

The ping times are like a 5 times higher, indicating a seriously latency. 
Possibly the trunk between China and Hong Kong too congested. You can ask 
Reach to increase their capacity to China, but with the news about Telstra 
and PCCW about Reach ... draw your own conclusions.

Unless you can convince Telstra not to prefer the routes to travel via 
Reach network to China (which will be very difficult, if not impossible), 
or I suggest you consider switching to another provider who does not prefer 
routes via Reach.

I am actually surprised that your VPN tunnels are holding dispite the high 
latency !
