Why does the Seattle test keep coming out as California? I've run several speed tests, and the ones I specifically marked as Seattle are shown by you to be California.

Because I believe the speakeasy test server is actually IN california, not Seattle? If you do a traceroute to it, I think that shows it.

Oh, ok. You had it labeled as Seattle before. No wonder I get good results using it.

It is actually switch & data Palo Alto and will be labelled on the speed test page as such.
