I'm in South Africa, wondering why our link into Internet is so slow.
Can someone tell me how to test my speed on Internet?
I did the following
Traceroute www.ohiocap.com
My final response took 1005ms 

*** TEST FOR ME PLEASE! ***

Can someone (a few people) please do a 
traceroute www.ohiocap.com & mail me the results, You only have to send me 
the last 1-3 hops. so I can see how long it takes others to get response 
from the same place. 
PLEASE also include where you're from, State & country.

*doubting whether his gonna get any results from this*

Thanks,
Dirk Wessels
