Re: hummm Geography also comes into play. The Northeast states are close to several of the largest data centers and NAPs in the US. Alaska and Hawaii will inherently have more latency due to distance issues and this affects the overall time it takes to open web pages regardless of the bandwidth capacity they may have. The 2,000 miles or so of fiber cable from California to Hawaii represent about 20ms of additional round trip time per every single request done during the test. This additional latency cannot be eliminated. If the site in the test is located in New York, that's an additional 2,000 miles or more to travel.
I do not know the details of the test but such a test is more accurate if the sites loaded are close to home. |
