I'm in Israel, paying for a 100/2 connection. I'm surprised the
download from Singapore went so quickly, I would've expected that to be
slower. Unless things have changed our internet travels to us by way of
Greece and Cyprus.

As an aside, a few years ago we tried out using Amazon as a CDN, and
IIRC I figured I was likely the only user in Israel with ~15GB/month
draw.
