That wouldn't shock me if eg FR, NL, DE were identical - if they are you have good peering to europe. How do those transatlantic tests compare?
In all fairness, I'm in Marseille, which has a direct peer conn to Paris, so for me to get to the US, it's 3 hops - for you in glasgow, you prolly route through aberdeen (wot no glasgox->london?!!!!), hence the lag.
Go on, poste the US connections, cos that tells how you perceive your connection.... Personally if shit in the FR works and US wokrs, I rarely get on the blower to my ISP, cos I couldn't care less.... but I can tell for eg when a Bordeax->London conn goes down cos I have a client in Bordeaux that blows my ear off each time.... and a re-routing at Paris is all that is needed to solve the situation.
For me, what happens in Paris I can control by a telephone call, if it's a link between the minions and Paris, I'm fucked.
---edit
also do a traceroute for your own interest if you don't want to publicise it -
traceroute uk2.net
they are in the docklands in a DC that peers directly with europe and the US - would be interesting to see why you have 10+ mbs to aberdeen (down the road) but only 5mbs to London (also down the road in the big equation)
