why would it only affect 1 hop? there is nothing special about the gateway.

I have posted numerous tbb graphs which show the endpoint and as such the entire route is affected. I also see it on smokeping graphs I have at 3 different locations.

As a % the affect on USA endpoints is less as the base latency is much higher, so it would be less noticeable.

I personally have never said base latency goes up by 10ms, I think the affect on base latency at least for me is about 1-2ms, but jitter and as such average latency is significantly higher.

I also believe the effect is dependable on UBR utilisation, some people are able to get sub 3ms jitter on their superhub's. So it will be in my view more noticeable when on a higher utilised port.
