Colleagues,

I see, our geolocation service works unstable.
More over, after additional thinking, I understand, there is not needed 
real geolocation, because of network topology is not 1:1 mapped to 
geography.
Thus, there is just single real criteria to select a best service - 
measure latencies between client and all available OpenNIC T2 servers, 
and provide to client
report, sorted by latency.

Implementation:
This can be JAVA program, runs from browser. When starts, program 
downloads from OpenNIC list of servers, and probe each one couple times.
Thereafter, compute average latency and standard deviation, and print in 
HTML-report to user in the browser.

Programming:
I am not JAVA programmer, I use C++. So, this is better, if someone 
java-guru will write this program.
However, if there is not appropriate person, I will write program myself 
(and learn JAVA in process).

So, let we discuss this idea, and if needed - assign this task to me.

Oleg
