    Hmm, correction... I did investigate this a few months ago, and 8.8.8.8 + 8.8.4.4 led to servers in the US both from machines in all locations I control, and from a bunch of random public tools to do so. I just re-checked, it seems to be fine today, with pings that can't possibly go to the US.

    So something must have changed...?

  2. Latency maps and looking glass servers by autocracy · · Score: 1 · on Ask Slashdot: What Is an Acceptable Broadband Latency?

    Latency depends on your destination. It is limited by the speed of light, and governed by how lousy the link itself is. It's how you sometimes get stories like the 500 mile emailFor some reference points:

    A map of expected United States latency from some place in Texas.

    Often times your first hop on DSL will be slower... my own network right now shows 40ms to my ISP's gateway. 300ms is my ping time from Maine in the US to Australia.

    Another helpful source of references are looking glass servers that will let you drop right into another provider's system and see ping times from their perspective.

    Also see traceroute.org to do a traceroute to anywhere from participating locations (although it's not immediately clear which ISP all of these sites are using). http://traceroute.org/#USA

  4. Looking glasses by mbone · · Score: 1 · on Sprint Cuts Cogent Off the Internet

    If you are having trouble with internet connectivity and suspect this is the issue you can :

    Use traceroute if you can or

    Go to the various looking glasses to see if you can get to your site (or the other site) from Sprint, Cogent, or an intermediate point.

    The Cogent Looking glass

    The Sprint looking glass.

    The Traceroute.org list.

  5. Re:Eyecandy is important :-) by RobertB-DC · · Score: 1 · on Not Just Eye Candy At Freedesktop.org

    There's too little data in the DB at the moment to bother trying to make an educated guess based on IP bitmasks

    Have you checked out BrowserSpy? I remembered that it used to have a "where are you" function, but I don't see it anymore (probably because nationwide ISPs like AOL made it unreliable). But it does have several interesting tools that might help.

    Also, it seems like a Traceroute would give you some important clues, especially if you find an IP close to the endpoint in your database.

    Well, whatsdown.net is down for me as I can't get to its nameservers. :-)
    Anyway, another useful service, when we are at it it www.traceroute.org.
