    Because of the way email works.
    Servers have to store and forward messages they're delivering.
    Messages usually go through multiple servers, each of them has to store the entire message, sometimes for days while it attempts delivery.

    torrent speeds get up to around 10MB/sec, so yes it's pretty close to the full 100mbit

    Even at line-of-sight from Wellington to LA and back is over 60ms at the speed of light.

    --- slashdot.org ping statistics ---
    12 packets transmitted, 12 received, 0% packet loss, time 11014ms
    rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 183.728/186.014/191.790/2.160 ms

    so 180ms isn't too bad considering the cable goes via Auckland then Hawaii and light only goes 2/3rd as fast in fibre.

    The tubes are all new, and they're fibre.

    Most people get 100mbit. It's between $60 and $100 depending if you can live with a data cap or not. You can get up to 1g. My ISP offers a plan where "you should see 700 - 900Mbps" down and 400 - 450 up for $140

    Of course fibre isn't available everywhere in NZ, but it is pretty much everywhere in Wellington.

    Perhaps you could have just read the documentation?

    Supported Algorithms
    By default, the jarsigner command signs a JAR file using one of the following algorithms:

    Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) with the SHA1 digest algorithm

    RSA algorithm with the SHA256 digest algorithm

    Elliptic Curve (EC) cryptography algorithm with the SHA256 with Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA).

    If the signer's public and private keys are DSA keys, then jarsigner signs the JAR file with the SHA1withDSA algorithm. If the signer's keys are RSA keys, then jarsigner attempts to sign the JAR file with the SHA256withRSA algorithm. If the signer's keys are EC keys, then jarsigner signs the JAR file with the SHA256withECDSA algorithm.

    These default signature algorithms can be overridden using the -sigalg option
