Reread my post.  I NEVER said it was slower by nature.  I said there
were things that can go wrong with the connection.  Without a traceroute
you'll never know where the problem is, only that there is one.  With
traceroutes to and from you can often find a specific router or network
segment and know exactly who to contact.

Is there something simpler that I'm missing?
