Comment 10 for bug 913158

Hello Jonathan,
I have tested a lot both connections and information that I was
investigating was:

for mirror.anl.gov

10 Gbps
Country:
United States

ping info:

ping mirror.anl.gov

It is true, is not in miami. Seems to be in Chicago, sorry.

 (I could test others if you want me to do more tests).

Look at actual tracert to uy.archive.ubuntu.com from Uruguay:

Trace complete.

In previous tests ANTEL sends my connection from Uruguay directly to miami,
now seems to be sending it to spain? 4 272ms 208ms 208ms 84.16.7.125
http://84.16.7.125.ipaddress.com/

then to france? 195.22.210.37 http://195.22.210.37.ipaddress.com/

and later to Brazil

It is a very bad route to Brazil, but in all my previous test I saw
something similar (but going to miami first).
Something that I'm sure: We never get good connection to servers in Brazil
and actual uy.archive.ubuntu.com mirror is working very very bad.

At least connection to Argonne National Laboratory is working very very
better in updates, downloads, etc. (On all connections and computers that I
have tried it, more than 10)

Look at tracert to 146.137.96.7:

At least in first ip address outside Uruguay we always get into United
states (miami) directly:
http://198.32.124.176.ipaddress.com/

And I can confirm again, this connection works very very ver better than
actual one for apt-get and everything.

Cheers,
Pablo.

> Hello Pablo,
