In our market, users don't care about the server that is 1ms away. They
want to test the one which is 170ms, because that is where the gaming
network sits. And heaven forbid that 170ms server does not return their
full 1Gbps subscription report, never mind the state of its affairs, or
who's running (if anyone even remembered it's there).

Mark.
