Japan vs RSA Speed Tests, and my PC can go back in time

Someone was kind and cruel enough to inform me of the kind of speeds you can get when living in Japan..
(For n00bies out there: This indicates how quickly you can watch a vid on youtube or the delay you will experience while playing games online etc)

First the South African test :
This might seem fast, but in comparison to the rest of the world it is as fast as taking a Volkswagen Beetle through the Jungles of the amazon, while towing a Boeing 747!

The Japan Test

Depressing I know... 90Mb/s, 6ms >< This, compared to our VW Beetle (who is probably still struggling to start up)  is like a Fighter Jet with infinite amount of rocket-thrust available!

An in other news : My Computer can go back in time..
After getting the Tokyo results, I decided to test our local work network.
It seems my computer can go back in time, as I received a ping of -30ms..





Yip.. You heard me.. -30ms!! I'm a time traveler! Watch you bookies! 
All your cash are belong to me!
