1209692 2011-06-16 22:01:00 Yep Slingshot is the best, have my 40Gb upgraded to 80Gb for no cost (55/month) cant beat that anywhere. And with 20.5 down and 1.1 up it is lightning fast, was downloading dukenukem from steam at 2.3MB/s. Im very happy with slingshot, so they have one happy customer. Gobe1 (6290)
1209693 2011-06-16 22:44:00 ....but internationally?
All of what you've said is probably NZ-local, such as Steam, and national Speedtest mirrors, yet 90% of browsing probably comes from overseas ;)

1209695 2011-06-16 23:33:00 No, YouTube can be locally cached also.

Try a Speedtest to Australia?

1209698 2011-06-17 00:43:00 Pretty sure the nVidia drivers also have a local akamai mirror. Chilling_Silence (9)
1209699 2011-06-17 00:51:00 Bugger i just downloaded some at work and got 1.8mb/s i thought that was pretty good. Gobe1 (6290)
1209700 2011-06-17 04:23:00 Just checked, definitely in NZ.
In the office here, I average 2ms pings to us.download.nvidia.com and easily pull down at 15m/bit.
