53ms USA - West Coast
80ms USA - Mid / Canada
83ms USA - East Coast
167ms EUROPE - Belgium
178ms EUROPE - UK
184ms EUROPE - France
192ms EUROPE - Switzerland

Overall I am very happy with the results. Most of my customers will be in North America closely followed by the number from Europe. That being the case I am getting great access times for all of North America and acceptable times from Europe. Not sure what is happening in Thailand, maybe that user needs to upgrade from the current carrier pigeon service!

134 ms from central Japan, if you were worried about your general Asia performance.

Thanks Patrick. I guess Japan should have a decent connection with it being only over the ocean from the West coast.
