Hops

No, not the beer kind

It takes me 20 "hops" to get from Saskatoon to CMT. The info travels from here to Regina to Toronto where it changes from SaskTel to Telus, then back thru Winnipeg, Edmonton, then finally reaches Calgary. WOW, its surprising I get any speed at all ;-)

Heh, ya, it's pretty funny that we are only a few hundred kilometres away and yet the electrons travel several thousand to get here. :)
