Kareem wroteHassan wroteJust contacted 1516 to switch interleaving off. The operator asked me about my current ping. I told him it's around 40 ms to local servers (it's actually 30 ms). He said that this is a very good latency and that interleaving is already off !!
Am I wrong to assume that I should be getting a ping of around 10 ms to local servers if I have interleaving off?!
Note: When I choose Ogero sever on speedtest, I get a ping of 16 ms; while for other servers in Beirut, I get 30 ms.
Edit: Upon telnetting my modem (tp-link vr900), it says that the interleave depth is 0. But I kinda feel that the modem is misreporting it since the ping values I mentioned above don't quite reflect it. Any thoughts?
Trace route and report the delay to first hop
Sorry for the late reply as I just got home. Here is the result of tracerouting google:

It seems that I really am on fastpath, since the first hop has a ping <1 ms.
However, I am left wondering how I see people posting a latency less than 10 ms to local servers while I have 30 ms.
EDIT: I am not sure whether this is related or not. But why does the ip address in the 2nd hop (which is also my default gateway in my modem page) show up in google as belonging to T-mobile USA ISP?? Is this normal?
