Try fsn.net again

**** These 3 hosts are the fastest host i've ever seen.;)

200 ++ ms ??

there is a lot more webhost with below 100 ms ping reply.

ok maybe it's location factor ...

And for those of you who think i'm connected directly to yahoo or something, it is 19 hops away. Anyway, there isn't much of a difference between fsn and hypermart in terms of reply time. But then again, it depends on your physical location to the server, and the way your isp is connected to the rest of the internet, and the route it takes, as well, as the usage levels of the carrier lines your data pases through.

These 32byte pings do not accuratly measure the ammount of data that could be transfered from the server. A better test would be how fast you could download from a server. But judging from your ping results you are on a normal dialup modem, which of couse any server could easily saturate. If you know of any files on the server a couple of megs or more, I'd test them from here.
