Re: [northeast] Poor speeds from Usenet-News.net ???

I BELIEVE it is on the west coast, as latencies are consistent with what I'm used to for west coast sites (~65ms) - the domain name is us-Usenet-News.net, and a traceroute follows. You'll notice that the traceroute is either hitting a firewall or a bad router, as I stopped it after it hits a dead end - it will keep hitting a nonresponsive "*" hop after the one that you see at the end, with very long pauses).

traceroute to cnews.wwwspace.net (208.49.82.60), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets

Edit: I was wrong - the ping times are more like 35ms to that domain name.
