when you do a refresh, right click on a server and view server info and check the IP address. Mine are all 81.x.x.x and 82.x.x.x, my IP is 81.x.x.x. They "look" as though they are in order of latency, but thats not the whole picture.
It's a fairly well known issue, and some ISPs have even been changing their ip:ports where possible to get further up the list for more people. Absolutely crazy design that whoever designed should be shot for.
