side note: I was testing LTE in Basel. Speed is lower than 3G (like 3-5M/sec) I wondered why as my friends in Finland get like 40M/s
What spring to my mind however is that the speed test tools do in fact measure speed with local providers around the corner. And as far as I know, swisscom doesn't peer on SwissIX with them so it might very likley be a similar ping-pong through somewhere else in europe or USA which is potentially ruining the speed. Of course it could simply be not enough capacity inside the mobile network.
My point is: PEERING PAYS OFF. No matter how "evli" your competitor might look like, both save money and gain speed. Even ISP's in other parts of the world have started to realize that its stupid to send off traffic across continents just because they don't like the competitor.

sorry - no - as the handover takes part in washington you have twice the atlantic in between... it´s a problem of peering/transiting in usa and not a upc internal problem in ch.
it is the responsibility of the first network handing over in europe on the way "up" and it is the responsibility of the second network handing over also in europe on the way "down". (zurich, amsterdam or london would be suited in this case)
as this is not the the case here you should tell them to fix that, or choose another provider who does good ip housekeeping.
