Pittsburg, PA, about 7 miles away from the physical location of the servers.

It was even better before the servers were moved to my company's data center. A trace route from work then showed just two hops (including the forum), and a trace route from home had just four. It helps that I work for the ISP that hosts the servers.

rural Colby, Kansas and a phoneline that can't go faster than 21,600

I have such miniscule bandwidth and I'm so blasted far downstream from anything that the whole "Information Superhighway" moves more like school zone.

T-3 connections are fun!
