From my iiNet DSL2+ connection in Perth, Australia to tokyo1.linode.com, I get 204ms ping and 14 hops, and from a Telstra fibre connection, I get 174ms and 15 hops.

That compares to about 250ms and 12 hops on iiNet, and 210ms and 14 hops on Telstra to fremont1.linode.com.

A little bit quicker, I think.

Yes, it's faster than Fremont. I moved to Dallas a few weeks ago after the third Fremont outage; now I wish I'd known this was coming down the pipeline.

... maybe I'll move again. It'd shave 50-60ms.
