Toronto Gateway - preliminary testing and feedback

I'm 2h northeast from Toronto. I get 35ms on the Toronto server vs. 43ms on Washington.
Saskatoon SK here (central Canada) on Shaw Cable. 44 ping, going through Chicago. Washington gateway is usually upper 60s ping.

I'll see if I can get our provider to do something to improve the routing through Chicago issue.

There's also potentially Montreal as another server location if Toronto doesn't work out.

It'd be interesting to see a WinMTR to speedtest.tor01.softlayer.com to see if that goes through Chicago too.


I've run an MTR for this address and it definitely seems that it bounces around Chicago for a bit before looping back to Toronto. My ISP is bell in this case.

What about speedtest.mon01.softlayer.com?
Could someone on Rogers and Bell collect a WinMTR (with a count > 100) for me and throw it on pastebin please?

I need it to this IP: 169.55.182.105
Here is the speedtest for Montreal:

And the specific IP address:

Seeing Chicago routing for both here. Hope this helps! (Bell ISP)

Bell customer in Montréal, I can see it does Montreal, Ottawa, then New york, then Montreal then Toronto lol.. :) but even if I have 40ms (more than washinton) this server never have any lag spike like washinton do, so it's already a lot better. THX!

Thanks. If anyone else on those ISPs could also run one, it would be helpful - the more evidence I have the better.
Getting 5-10ms in Toronto. Great so far.
