Well, as in any high-speed connection, it fluctuates a lot. When I try to
download to a large file from a Chicago server with ping less than 20, I get
about 250 KB/s, which is excellent, more than I ever expected. Sometimes it
even goes up to more tha 400 KB/s for a few seconds at a time, but rarely.
But on average, I'd say I'm getting between 150 to 200 KB/s from a typical
web download. Sometimes it's even less than 50.
I haven't really tested upload speeds because I know they are slow and AT&T
states that it's only 128 Kbps.
About pings, I can tell you that a typical server in Chicago would ping at
less than 20 ms. I can easily find multi-player game servers in the Midwest
that ping at less than 35 ms. But typical web server pings are more than 60
ms. That's probably because of the inefficient routing. There are typically
a lot of hops to cross.
As for down times, I haven't had any yet, but the mail server frequently
doesn't let you log in for some reason for hours at a time.
This performance will probably change very soon as more customers sign up.
BTW, how large would my node be? I mean, how many people or towns does it
cover?
