I've noticed for quite some time now that the Wikipedia web page is very very slow to load. I did a traceroute to en.wikipedia.org and it seems to be a router, 209.247.11.201 (owned by Level 3 Communications in Broomfield) that adds the most of the delay, rather than the web server itself..?

I'm pinging from the UK, but I suspect that a lot of the USA (if not everyone) probably goes via this router also.

PS. Apologies. I suspect this might not be the correct mailing list on which to mention this.
