is bandwidth from Fremont to Newark usually bad?
Speeds TO Newark (i.e., wget speedtest.X.linode.com):
fremont: 0.4 MB/s
atlanta: 17.3 MB/s
dallas: 13.9 MB/s
london: 18.4 MB/s
tokyo: 2.6 MB/s
Speeds TO Fremont:
newark: 19.7 MB/s
atlanta: 3.1 MB/s
dallas: 23.9 MB/s
london: 11.3 MB/s
tokyo: 12.9 MB/s
I've been backing up data from my Newark linode to my Fremont linode. As would be expected from these measurements, this works fine. Now I had to copy some data from Fremont to Newark, and it was slow, and I did these measurements. Now I'm scared that if I ever seriously need to restore a lot of data from Fremont to Newark, I'll be screwed.
Is Fremont normally like this, or is today an aberration?

But since you bring it up, mtr strongly suggests that the packets are staying entirely within Hurricane Electric as they move across the country, and that they are going directly from he.net to nac.net, so there's not really anyone to blame aside from your ISPs (and probably Hurricane Electric specifically).
