Re: Sydney trackwork - long weekend

Not necessarily the case, some times ping times can increase with the 
introduction of latency between the links, i.e. satellite. The best way to 
diagnose such, is to do a traceroute first, because the link congestion may 
be anywhere between your terminal, and their server, not necessarily at 
their link.
