I'm paying for a 10mbps fiber optic connection, btw. Its awesome for playing SL. If I ever get any lag...its because of my PC, not the network connection. I live in Texas, so the Dallas location should be the best one to compare.

I live in the pacific northwest (near seattle), and I subscribe to a so called high speed bandwidth provider.

I actually pay extra for the performance, so it's good to see I am actually getting it.

I pay for 100 mbps, and my ISP said I get about 40 or so mbps to their test machine in Tokyo (I'm in ruritania, I'm mildly impressed that broadband exists at all here). I expect most of the delay is across the Pacific rather than my isp as such.

Wow. So is it true that broadband penetration in the east is better than in the US? With much higher speeds and lower prices? I would love to be able to have a 100mbps pipe.
