Kinda confused how SAIX/IS Int works. After seeing so many threads.

Which is best to download from States ?

Latency wise? Is SAIX better to Europe or USA?
 
Without shaping, SAIX is better anywhere in the world latency wise. (Playing around with icmp packet/dosping ie. kinda like playing 3dmark2001 over and over to show how fast your pc is)

After shaping kicks in, IS win the battle completely. (Real world usage ie. kinda like playing a real game and really showing how fast your pc is)

Unless you want to compare SAIX unshaped vs IS. SAIX unshaped latency will be lower internationally than IS.
 
Thanks yet again Clipse :D

Soon hopefully will have Nukecap Lowping VPN up, so can finally get some real usage again, Currently downloading a 3 Gig file from States, so was wondering which was best location to download it from...(From Web, so i guess not shaped)

From East Coast Server 45kb/s, West coast 40kb/s
Not tried Europe yet, but so many diff options i forgot which one gave me 65k/bs lol :p

Well if you are refering to downloading and not latency, I can assure you.. IS will give you better speed internationally according to my tests, unless you plan on buying unshaped saix bandwidth which according to my tests doesnt offer that much better downloading speed than shaped saix.
 
Yep exactly info i needed.

Downloading Via Fileplanet before my subscription closes next week. I got a list of different world servers to choose, and pretty much dont know where geographically would be best for SAIX

I often had 65/kbs but now 40-49/kb/s which i suppose is not bad for 384, but i did get better.

So a bit worrying that this is gonna end in 9 hours.... Hrm ...2am...Nov 1st...Not good :D

Top top it off, i need to Download two more 900 meg files once done...The agony !
