Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:

And download speeds are laughable. Can somebody give me average download speeds from say download.com or somefink. It would be much appreciated.

somethings not right about your eircom broadband, im on the 2mb package and its always good, normally get between 200k/sec and 230k/sec, only time i get poorish transfer rates is when im downloading from some american websites.
