Was trying to determine where this 'honolulu' speedtest was hosted:

123.87.93.224?
inetnum: 123.64.0.0 - 123.95.255.255 netname: CTTNET country: CN descr: China TieTong Telecommunications Corporation
Well, the DNS name is for a colocation facility in Lynnwood, WA via the Seattle Internet Exchange. I can confirm that the 6th hop actually does traverse the SIX, in as much as that IP is correct.

Thanks. What concerned me was the first hop...22ms. is ~ the distance from Maui to Oahu, but why the Chinese IP? Cruel joke? I"m using Hawaiian Telcom's ADSL service and that first hop has always been their gateway IP address. Another TCP trace shows the first hop as 123.74.62.128...another CN address.
