It'll only get worse if the TPP goes through…

Doing a traceroute from my home, which is serviced by TekSavvy (in
Canada); my connection to members.iinet.net.au dies at a router owned
by Hurricane Electric, Inc. of California. Since it seems to bounce
through a few of their routers, I'm assuming that whoever Hurricane
Electric hands off the packets to kills it. (Based on my traceroute;
other results may vary.)

of course); their trace dies as it leaves the Cogent Communications
network (since it bounces through a few of their servers before
dying).
