Hi,

Have a new truly broadband link courtesy of Safaricom Business which allows me to watch streaming video with minimal stoppages, if this can be achieved with the stream travelling thousands of kilometres imagine the performance if the content was local.

I think much of it is local now (for some value of the word "local"), with the advent of the Google Global Cache (hosted @KDN) being shared via KIXP, I would guess that at least some of the streams you are viewing are coming from a "local" machine.
