In terms of a congested exchange, Drukkie wins!

Are any of you still having problems with latency?

We're not getting any on our side.

Not good....my wife needs to work from home...so i'm in capped afrihost now and it's flying.

Whoooot!! At least I win something. It hurts going from sub 10ms pings on the first hop to, well, seconds.

Not good....my wife needs to work from home

I need to work from home for the foreseeable future as well, so I might as well go and buy a 3G thing somewhere, sigh.
