Haha... the hops and ping issue.. Ping should be low but then you are basing it on your own connection. As far as hops... that is funny. You had better run about 20 tests and average them per host. Why? Because the internet is not static, it is dynamic. You seldom with pass thru the same nodes in the same succession. So your hops will vary for each and every test. Also keep in mind that your surfers are world wide and will get very different paths to your host.

8-16 is about average. And it is all basically bullshit anyway... Try downloading a file from one host to another. Then figure out the bytes per second... Next load a page with a shitload of thumbs... See if it seems instant or if it seems like you are on a modem...

Now decide. I did the tests and the host of choice is in my sig.
