I saw RK's post here:

and I decided to do the same study with my VPS, which I have liked, but never thought was the best thing ever. Probably lower quality than his (I'm sure he shelled out more money than me), but I figured I'd see how it turns out.

Use the following code to be lazy and do all these pings + pre-write the output. Only change the first alias labelled "YRHOST" to whatever you want it to say. (Thanks to RK for this better script)

[SELECT ALL] Code:

YRHOST="WHATEVER YOU WANT IT TO SAY" && a1="[b][u]Ping from $YRHOST to" && a2="[/b][/u]" && echo -e "\n\n" $a1 "California (West Coast USA):" $a2 && ping -c 10 -q 208.79.89.243 && echo -e "\n" $a1 "Dallas (Central USA):" $a2 && ping -c 10 -q 72.249.66.192 && echo -e "\n" $a1 "New York (East Coast USA):" $a2 && ping -c 10 -q 199.167.194.101 && echo -e "\n" $a1 "Miami, USA:" $a2 && ping -c 10 -q 46.182.109.9 && echo -e "\n" $a1 "Sao Paulo, Brazil:" $a2 && ping -c 10 -q 37.252.238.11 && echo -e "\n" $a1 "Tokyo, Japan:" $a2 && ping -c 10 -q 37.252.229.21 && echo -e "\n" $a1 "Hong Kong, China:" $a2 && ping -c 10 -q 37.252.249.20 && echo -e "\n" $a1 "Singapore" $a2 && ping -c 10 -q 119.81.28.170 && echo -e "\n" $a1 "Mumbai, India:" $a2 && ping -c 10 -q 182.73.58.241 && echo -e "\n" $a1 "Dubai, UAE:" $a2 && ping -c 10 -q 37.252.245.20 && echo -e "\n" $a1 "Cape Town, South Africa:" $a2 && ping -c 10 -q 197.85.190.251 && echo -e "\n" $a1 "London, UK:" $a2 && ping -c 10 -q 217.112.86.130 && echo -e "\n" $a1 "Amsterdam, Netherlands:" $a2 && ping -c 10 -q 159.253.130.90 && echo -e "\n" $a1 "Paris, France:" $a2 && ping -c 10 -q 37.252.225.11 && echo -e "\n" $a1 "Frankfurt, Germany:" $a2 && ping -c 10 -q 85.195.82.74 && echo -e "\n" $a1 "Moscow, Russia:" $a2 && ping -c 10 -q 37.252.254.10 && echo -e "\n" $a1 "Auckland, New Zealand:" $a2 && ping -c 10 -q 103.6.212.9 && echo -e "\n" $a1 "Sydney, Australia:" $a2 && ping -c 10 -q 37.252.240.19

Should take about 5 minutes.

If you host a server, I'd be interested in seeing your results, along with a comment about the quality (in terms of cheap VPS to mega Dedi server).

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 145.243/145.290/145.387/0.155 ms

Ping to a datacentre in Germany (Frankfurt):
--- 85.195.82.74 ping statistics ---
50 packets transmitted, 50 received, 0% packet loss, time 49047ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 172.972/173.304/173.740/0.606 ms

For those not so familiar with the ping command, (probably more of the crowd just playing on servers), you will be most interested in the second number in the line that looks like this:
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 172.966/173.153/173.633/0.452 ms

That second number is the average ping you will get. It will also be interesting seeing the last number which is the amount that the ping changed on average. Another interesting number is the % packet loss. More packet loss = bad.
