IS Speedtest for ADSL testing

Its quicker to ping IS New York link from SAIX than from a IS ADSL line weird

Try these tests from your SAIX ADSL line and check any differences
and see what resukts you get from SAIX ADSL

Ping speedtest-ny.isdsl.net from IS ADSL line
http://196.211.2.162/cgi-bin/ping.cgi?t=speedtest-ny.isdsl.net

Funny how they're using my old speed test script without giving me credit ;-)

Anyways, the reason why it's higher latency via ISDSL, is because last I heard, IS routed all ISDSL intl traffic over Satellite, while other traffic goes via the fiber.

Here's a trace from my ISDSL account:

Thats off iBurst (using CTRL refresh) ... last time I looked WBS hadn't upgraded to 2Mbps yet.
 
Ya hadnt noticed ... did another, time is (sort of) right this time ...

Seems in line with the speeds that I have been getting. Must say, this little 192 line packs a bit of a punch :)
