Here are a couple of updates related to the current thread.

This one contains some newer better speed test results :

After the Phantom PING was taken into custody for the 2nd time, my latest Ping is down to 10 or 11ms , using nexicom.speedtest.com , which seems to be the fastest test server, and one of 2 now in Toronto (Teksavvy is sponsoring the other).
