This is over 3G? Those are some crazy round trip times, more akin to a
satellite connection or a couple of laps of the globe.

Which 3G provider is this? Just so I know who to avoid...


> And most amazing of all to a European Site:
> 21 hops 16263.72ms (from Syd)	
> 11 hops 13582.83ms (from Perth)

EU should be 200-300ms depending on the path taken but not taking into
account any 3G / last mile latency.
