Re: Need proximity

I was under the assumption that they use multiple locations for it already.

You are correct, there are multiple locations and backbones for the Steam network.

That still does not mean that they are pushing you to the closest, fastest servers. I just looked at the server stats, and almost a third of their sites are down!

The only reason is says that they are down is because they are changing the content on those servers. Also they are independently run so there can be problems every once and a while. Anyway all of the servers will be up on launch date giving them enough to max out a lot of peoples connections.
