I've taken a random sampling of the ISP's across the country and have started collecting data to benchmark the overall performance of the Internet as represented by the milliseconds it takes to send and receive a packet across the Internet, then averaged out. It's called the Internet Meter and it gives a fair representation of the overall performance as seen from the mid-west coast as the origin, since a majority of users in the USA originate in California. This could be further usefull if run from the mid US, like Denver or Omaha and on the east coast. At any rate, you can see the benchmarked graphs at: http://www.vpm.com/Imeter/ I'd like to hear any feedback, good or bad, on any thoughts and/or improvements.
