Our linode is currently in London (I didn't set it up...), but I'm probably going to request a move to the Tokyo datacenter in the next week. Ping times to Tokyo (136 ms) are literally half what they are to London (297 ms) and still better than Fremont (208 ms). Seems like a no-brainer to try moving it.

Where are you located? Your ping times don't mean much without a reference point.

Based on those times I'd say he is in Russia or very close to an Australia-Japan peering exchange.

I'm in Sydney, Australia.
