Re: Bad Route To US?

a 100ms or so won't make speeds that slow, slowest it can be in normal conditions i've seen is around 2mbit, microsoft (and other large companies) will use akamai for hosting who have servers all over the globe so you should be seeing maximum speed when downloading off microsoft's site, you could post a traceroute to see if the pings are normal etc.

if you get pings over 500ms or so then speeds start to suffer badly, hitting 1s and you'll be barely be above dialup
