As you are probably aware 98% of websites you visit , (including the server on which this site is hosted) are based in the USA
How do telewest and ntl and bt get good connections over the atlabtic ocean?
With all the web traffic being sent to the USA, where are all the pipes and how does a cable isp like tw gain access to them?
does tw link up with bt and the phonelines?
Of course, that means uk hosted servers are all the faster.
my site,
http://andymt.co.uk
is hosted in the UK. download some of the files off it and you will get your maximum speed!
