Acceptable DSL Speeds (ms based)

Wed May 4 16:18:26 UTC 2005

Traceroute is not an effective measurement of performance.  Due to the way 
routing devices process the packets it receives, it is possible for the latency 
that appears in a traceroute is far higher than the latency of traffic 
traversing that device.
