From one site there isn't a significant difference between 1/4/10 -- at least anything worth noteing. From this site, with multiple exit points (different vendors) and depending on the BGP bounce of the day, I see: >> Speed Daemons: - 1st: cvsup14.us.freebsd.org 6.22 ms - 2st: cvsup4.us.freebsd.org 30.29 ms - 3st: cvsup17.us.freebsd.org 44.45 ms >> Speed Daemons: - 1st: cvsup15.us.freebsd.org 20.96 ms - 2st: cvsup18.us.freebsd.org 31.66 ms - 3st: cvsup9.us.freebsd.org 31.80 ms Thanks for the pointer. BTW, cvsup was 51 ms from the first and 100 ms from the second.
