thanks for the feedback.
For my reference the link to the results is: »
[Cable Speed test: 21.31/4.42 95 ms]First, you are on the east coast yet your ping time to the east coast server (this site) is 68ms, which is frankly pretty high. It appears to go all over the country.
But the SF distance is even further, 97ms.
The reason it picked SF is because:
0 latency 94.5ms from San Francisco, CA, USA
1 latency 269ms from Sydney, NSW, Australia
2 latency 220.5ms from Dublin, Ireland, EU
3 latency 117.5ms from Michigan, USA
4 latency 133.5ms from Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
the latency at that one point was lowest to SF. Although this isn't a very good measure as it only does one quick check.
Now, downloading from SF, the best it could manage was
21 download completed in 6879 ms latency 555 length=18320000 mbit=21.31
so the speed is what it is, to Amazon in SF.
If you run it again, probably it will pick Michigan, and then it should be the same as the java test, for you?
