Is Vodafone doing Local Breakout for data in Spain ?

Pings were slightly less hitting local Spanish speedtest servers and speeds were consistently higher ?

Seemed like the data was being dumped locally into Spain rather than being routed back to the UK.

Could be wrong, anyone with any inside info on it ?

You'd have to use www.ipchicken.com or similar to show the IP and then look it up on the RIPE database to confirm.

Useful site - thanks, bookmarked.

I have in the past used:
ipchicken.com
iplocation.net
whatismyip.com

trying to find something that worked on mobile screens, and your link looks the best so far - thanks.

Note the Spanish speed result versus the UK one and that was consistent.

So how then ?

Spanish speed test servers are actually on really good connections to where Vodafone UK has their internet presence? Since Vodafone UK bought Cable & Wireless I would expect good links all over Europe.

Generally one clue is browsing BBC news webpage, no adverts means you have a UK IP, and the URL stays bbc.co.uk - if you're in spain on WiFi then you get bbc.com with adverts.
