hehe... how far is a ms?
That would of course have to be figured from the speed of light through the media that your signal is going through, as well as the speed at which the routers and switches in between route and switch your packets for delivery.
So probably not a great way to measure geographic distances, is my point.

Re: BS

Who was measuring geographic distances?

I was measuring network "distance" with milliseconds. I don't generally measure in geographic distance when talking networks.

I don't care WHERE the Akamai servers are in the world, as long as they are the ones I can reach fastest.

So in those terms, the ones with the lowest latency to me could be 500 miles away, while the highest latency could be on servers that are only 200 miles away. And I'm sure hoping that I'm using the "closest" ones network-wise.

I would swear I was pretty clear about that in my first post on the issue of Akamai "distance."

Did I once mention how many miles away something might be and mention that it would affect speed? I don't think so.
