The following table is the results of the end-to-end latency measurements were gathered on the Level3 Backbone. The service with the lowest latency for each Level3 POP is highlighted.
The networks chosen all have multi-gigabit connectivity, a great reputation and strong SLA's. But how do they stack up on latency, the bottleneck in real-world tcp performance?
The provider with the lowest latency is highlighted for each city on Level3's Network
