international extremely slow

[Robin Hood]

I just did a "tracert" check....Internationally is a 10th the speed of local
When i ping "myadsl" i get +- 40-60ms pings......internationally i get 350-400ms pings...thats BAD!!!

uhm thats normal for shaped adsl via sat-3

You are confusing latency with bandwidth.

Latency is the round-trip time for a packet to reach a host. Local will always have a lower latency as the data packet travels a much shorter distance as with international. The average ping time to the UK is 300-400ms.
