@brainiac this is assuming local loop is significantly faster and better accessed than sites in russia and europe. In my experience www.nationmedia.com and www.capitalfm.co.ke both load at the same rate as yahoo or facebook. Meaning that though we may get many more local seeders, speeds may not improve significantly.

@Mwangy, you overlooked one important thing, Facebook and Yahoo are heavy users of Akamai, that alone makes a world of difference in terms of speed of content delivery.
