USA Fibre Connections

[macman]

Hi all, new member here....

Is it just me or is anyone else experiencing very very slow connections to US sites compared to UK when using the new fibre service?

UK:


USA EAST COAST:


USA WEST COAST (Most Popular Location for USA Servers):


(by the way the security on this board to post is seriously high lol!!)

It won't be once you've made a couple of posts.

Hopefully you get some feedback from other fibre users

Same servers in the same order as you posted -

UK Coventry



USA East Coast



USA West Coast

Fibre doesn't seem to offer much performance boost across the pond, I'm on adslmax










If you ignore the upstream

It does for east coast servers. It's just west coast servers that seems to be that little bit too far to see any advantage.

lol No problem Steve.

I did notice that the US servers, maybe due to the distance, seem a bit temperamental and can give very different results from one test to the next.

It may be an idea for macman to try the same servers again and see if the results are any different.

Last time I did a test to New York (few weeks ago) it gave the same results as the server in London. Did a quick test this evening and here's the result:
