notes the .nl 10mbit server is under load I only checked on the last test but was pushing 700kB out so when I got my 400 it would have been maxed.
the .uk server was only pushing 1mbit so max possible was 9mbit
both 100mbit servers were capable of a 10mbit xfer.
steadfast is over my much loved level3 and is nearly always poor to my connection.
the telia and .nl were both obviously faster at 12.15 and my shaping suspicions have been for .eu traffic to manage peering saturation.
