A node in Brisbane. I checked path, the AS path was pretty tight, china-telecom to telstra-reach and then into the IX where I have a FreeBSD host. I was testing web speeds to the company on non-SSH/SOCKS paths, they were pretty bad oddly, quite heavily asymmetric, via the US and Japan and in some cases Europe. China-Australia via Europe is not very optimal.
It has to be said if you're trying to bypass DPI, speed isn't your main concern. I tolerated pretty low packet rates. If I had to VOIP it would have been awful
