I done some fairly extensive tests, and my opinion it is not.

steadfast networks in the usa goes over level3 from my connection and alos uses level3 from nildram, nildram gets a sustained 2mbit whilst mine is flaky, the server it self is a dedicated 100mbit.

There are numerous eu servers I have posted about before in other threads.

The only thing I will say is if I download from within the uk the speed is pretty much always max, also if I download over http providing the proxy isnt bailing out on me the speed again is usually good, so to me it looks like peering within the uk is good, ntl's internal network is good but peering outside the uk is shaky especially with cogent.
