Ask HN: Would someone in Australia mind pinging 3 IP addresses for me?

1 pointsNick5a112y ago6 comments

I'm trying to decide where to host my 2 websites, one of which is targeted to Australians and the other to North America.

Would someone who is in Australia mind pinging these 3 IP addresses of the hosts I'm considering and telling me the average ping time?

Quadra Hosting 202.146.213.3

WPEngine Tokyo 106.187.98.41

WPEngine US 50.116.56.20

If you could also tell me where in Australia you are that would be great!

Thanks!
