gg,
For an ADSL user in Europe, yours is not too bad. Don't forget the transatlantic hop.
Here is an as near to perfect example from Europe as you will get (very much NOT from ADSL, obviously !
)....

See how much the transatlantic hop adds before you start shifting data around the US. The rest depends on how good PPRune's connectivity is as to how much hopping around the US you do, in PPrune's case you've got to get over to the West Coast !
My guess is that LR's trace was done from a US based ADSL service.
