Right now they're not too bad. But there's still congestion on 192.168.253.225. The first hop's confusing, because when using ADSL I'm natting internet ip numbers. Anyway, look at 192.168.253.225 .. that ip number sometimes rises to 150 msec. And you can't get anywhere useful without traversing it. In the evening or weekend it's worse. With cable there was only a few msec of congestion unless things were really screwed, like over second pings, but I noticed that less than once a week. Even Christchurch to Christchurch ADSL seems to hit it... Paradise seems to have national traffic routing via Sydney occasionally - but other than that, their core network seems pretty decent. Paridse ADSL actually had a period of time when it took like an hour to connect, with frequent disconnections. But now the connection seems to last for days. (I'm hoping this will move to months, damn dynamic IP) Ben.
