That got me interested in testing a variety of locations. West Coast is great, even Chicago is great, but the NE corridor is awful, including DC. I actually did the DC test but it was so bad I didn't copy the link. I haven't monitored this in years, but the MAE East POP used to be a huge bottleneck on the Internet. I would have thought with all the growth of the DC area Internet services, especially government, that the telcos would have put sufficient resources into fixing that problem.
