Sydney to Australia link is 181msec Sydney to LA is 150msec sort of smells of non-optimality router to router traceroute shows a single hop, so it seems a bit odd. http://ipstats.globalcrossing.net/dotcom/link9r.shtml?mode=r2r&type=trace interactive map shows the australia path goes to west coast first, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan, approximately, whereas the Pacific route goes to Hawaii (approximately( then LA and then direct shot to Japan.
