I have a few servers in the states .. I just thought of doing this for an experiment ...

I pinged South Africa from US ...

Here are two examples, you draw your own conclusions:

From the US server to ftp.sai.net
--- ftp.saix.net ping statistics ---
104 packets transmitted, 104 received, 0% packet loss, time 103964ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 268.247/269.677/278.878/1.530 ms


--- my.ADSL.ip.goes.here ping statistics ---
133 packets transmitted, 132 received, 0% packet loss, time 133284ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 478.241/570.395/628.459/27.112 ms


Almost double for a 10th of the distance ... and look at the differences between the min / max on both ...

I think telkom is not only throttling the bandwith but their hardware/software is so bad it's actually messing up usable bandwith ...


We are Telkom - Resistance is Futile - You will be Assimilated
