Internet Health
	Ping can be used to give an indication of Internet Health from GSP's perspective. This is not an indication that one ISP is superior to another. This ping analysis times how long it takes a message (packet) to go from our Sterling, Virginia facility to another location on the Internet and back. The graph below shows the average ping result (from 50 samples) for the past 24 hours. This ping analysis is conducted once every hour and takes about one minute to complete. To see the raw data (ping min/avg/max from 50 samples) that was recorded for the past 24 hours, click on one of these ISPs:  Name   Location Tested   24 Hour   Moving Average    Sprint   ns3-auth.sprintlink.net   7.919 ms    Cable & Wireless   ns3.cw.net   8.967 ms    Level 3   ns2.l3.net   4.346 ms    Verio   ns2.verio.net   41.342 ms  Last Revised: 2 Jul 2009 at 10:11 PM EDT
