159966 2003-07-30 00:28:00 You can check your ISP in comparison to other ISPs, by pinging from the USA or elsewhere to their website, which for most ISPs is located where their dialup terminates. This will expose they international connectivity.

Try from here (http://lg.conxion.net/) and select ping.

You may get some interesting results.

I got these results.

247ms www.xtra.co.nz
161ms www.clear.net.nz
438ms www.ihug.co.nz
147ms www.paradise.net.nz
261ms www.slingshot.co.nz

Some sites timeout because of firewall filtering as expected.
