In nature, nothing is ever right. Therefore, if everything is going right... something is wrong.

Just out of interest, but have you ever tried going via Dublin instead of Maidenhead? The results came up with almost double the speed, when I tried it. Limerick is nearly as good. It made the biggest difference to download speeds - uploads were pretty much the same, regardless of which "pyramid" I used.

Pretty much the same around Europe. Elda-Spain about the faster of them.
