Southern California is fine, but northern california ( and as such, this appear to be where my traffic goes to Google and YouTube ) as such sucks. I've been getting maximum downstream from youtube of 30kbytes/sec ( yes, yuck, cant even watch low-bitrate without buffering lots ), but ironically, I get 600kbytes/sec torrenting, and can watch HD on that *as* its downloading. And I'm on o'nary DSL w/ telecom. # Here is a reasonably good day. San Diego : 3479 Downstream , 608 Upstream, 324ms ping Los Angeles: 1948 Downstream, 534 Upstream, 162ms ping San Fransisco: 2711 Downstream, 655 Upstream, 197ms ping San Jose: 823 Downstream, 561 Upstream, 198ms ping I had reasonably worse numbers a few weeks ago, but speedtest seems to have forgotten them :( ( I was getting 80% packet loss on one of the hops :/ ) Routes today seem to be going via asianetcom.net , and thats reasonably reliable. But youtube is still sucking at ~50k/s. I'd like conclude evil is afoot, but that would be a bit crazy. -- Kent perl -e "print substr( \"edrgmaM SPA nocomil.i...@tfrken\", \$_ * 3, 3 ) for ( 9,8,0,7,1,6,5,4,3,2 );" http://kent-fredric.fox.geek.nz
