Thanks. Right, I just let Google do the conversion (per my footnotes) and didn't think about the bit/byte thing - ooops.

Do you run a web server on yours? Can you check locally what your actual latency is for curl-ing (or wgeting) a page? I mean the actual timestamp difference from your local machine, such as your laptop or desktop. I don't intend to have a lot of traffic but I really, really hate latency. thanks for all this info btw.

No problem! I checked with an apache2 instance on a VC1S in Paris, my ping to it is 25ms and curl from my laptop takes about 90ms.

Hope that helps.
