Regarding this part:> The baseline latency is because the bloat measurement uses a single websocket ping server in America. Justin said in the forums it didn't seem worth the effort to set up more of them. Seems worth an faq item though :(.
Below huge speeds, upload testing is done with web socket now,so there is a websocket address on every server now anyway.
The baseline pinging to dslreports.com doesn't seem brokenbut if necessary it can be changed to baseline pinging to thenearest server, wherever that is.
