tdgeek: Another point.
In the US a significant amount of traffic is local, naturally they tend to go to US sites. Same in Japan, Korea, China, Europe. Down Under we all go to international sites a huge amount. If we all used 90% NZ sites hosted in NZ, speeds would be higher, costs to provide a 10Gb 20Gb 50Gb plan would be lower. We have the speed here, those who downloaded Windows 7 beta and RC at your connect rate as I have done a few times (16Mbit here) will realise this. These 2.7Gb files were cached and therefore local, therefore fast. 21 minute download for 2.7Gb
If all US sites were in NZ, and they had to pay international rates and the 10000km latency then their speeds and costs would be like ours. Its all a numbers game and for us the numbers are often 000,s of km and international traffic costings

raab: I'd be more impressed he was actually achieving 100mbit as opposed to just above half that.
