I swear this used to be in Sydney, it was around 60ms away.  Wasn't it?  Now, from my home, every box I've got around Au and every Traceroute site I can find, it's showing up in California.

google's geolocation has never worked for me (see http://lists.ausnog.net/pipermail/ausnog/2011-March/010134.html)
but in that same thread, even philip suggested to not use 8.8.8.8 as it was not a local service.



cheers,
