Hi,

could you show the output of these commands?

unset http_proxy
time wget http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.9.tar.gz
time wget http://www.in.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.9.tar.gz

(the wget commands will retrieve a large (43MB) file from the US and
India, which should indicate your bandwidth. Don't forget to multiply
the size by 8 to get bits when you calculate bandwidth, to get bits
per second. Unsetting the http_proxy ensures you are fetching directly
from the remote site, as long as you have no transparent redirection
set up)

export http_proxy=http://localhost:3128 # or 8080 if that's the squid
listening port
time wget http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.9.tar.gz
time wget http://www.in.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.9.tar.gz

(These commands will show you the speed via the squid service.)

time nslookup www.google.com
time www.fish.com

(instead of fish.com, you can use any hostname which you think nobody
has looked at recently, so you don't get a cached result.)

Regards,

Gavin
