Notice, it left the Paris DC on hop2 (went east!) then reached California on hop 9. 7 hops from DC to DC.
Now download from server in Paris to Server in SD:

Both servers have 100Mbs ports, and the SD server is downloading at *exactly* 100Mbs.
Where's the problem? I'd say that is damn great connectivity. |
I'm not sure what part of peering vs transit you don't understand. When you can figure out what peering is and what transit is please let me know.
