Tiny cold island soon
Would somebody who uses the Web Africa Unshaped product ( R89 per GB ) please post the output of the following command here:
tracert www.gamesunited.de

I want to setup a script to monitor their latency to Europe, but I need to know their concentration point ip address, and I don't actually have an account with them this month. The website says that the product is identical to Telkom's 4GB Unshaped product, but I don't have one of those either.

Pretty please.
 
Here you go. This is on a 50gb Titan shaped account, but trust me it wont be much different on the unshaped WA accounts, maybe perhaps -2ms better.

Currently there are a few cable breaks affecting the latency, it usually is about 170ms to jolt.co.uk but now about the same as this trace...

Thank you so much Tinuva, DenSweep and Abe.

The concentration point seems to be:
WA-CapeTown : 196.220.59.230

Much appreciated.

Actually 196.220.59.230 is not, that IP sits on a SAIX specific router, instead you would be better of to do your tests to 196.220.59.230 which is the edge router.
