Pfft, I'm a nerd, I think this is awesome. Hahaha.





Odd.

yeah. that is odd. thinking they tweaked the windowing to accommodate smaller links better..

odd also since ms response is 11 but max is so low..

what if you go to speedtest.teksavvy.com

Same, 20 down, 20 up. Very odd indeed.

can you do a traceroute to speedtest.teksavvy.com

This time through Montreal then Limelight.

right. we're probably the only ones you'll stay within canada because of limelight. odd bounce from ott to montreal then toronto.
