Would be even more cool if you could obfuscate the last octet in the email Received: headers :-)
BTW: I like your laptop name On a more technical note: I have access to a systems and switches connected directly to the same Telia backbone/transit network and, although it isn't highly conclusive, I seem to get a small amount of consistent packet loss on that last hop to the Akamai/Yahoo machine. Here is an mtr trace (a traceroute built up over around 5000 x 1500 byte pings sent at 30ms intervals): sudo mtr 213.155.157.140 -i 0.03 1500 Matt's traceroute [v0.54] Mon Nov 3 19:33:10 2008 Packets Pings Hostname %Loss Rcv Snt Last Best Avg Worst 4. ldn-bb1-link.telia.net 0% 4932 4932 1 1 1 61 5. ldn-b3-link.telia.net 0% 4932 4932 1 1 3 85 6. unknown-213-155-157-140.yahoo.com 1% 4923 4931 2 1 2 16 OK, the packet loss is only 0.16% (if you work it out) but that is enough to give a few TCP retries which will manifest itself as slower average download speeds.
