I'm trying to get my head around the Reverse Traceroute tool that Newshosting provides. Here is a copy of my log...

I'm unsure as to whether I should be using the default ports (119, 23, 80, 3128, etc) as it has the quickest RTTs, or if I should use port 9000, as it only has 2 hops between the server and my ISP.

I'm inclined to go for the default ports, but a lot of other UK Newshosting users have reported that port 9000 gives them better speeds. Any ideas?
 
try them! its no problem to change them back if you find the speeds are not any better, I tried a few until I settled with one, and occasionally change it around anyway
