how can you effectively test the performance of your Web site from locations that are thousands of miles away?

Possible solutions include:-

• Using the services of a third-party company that specializes in testing a Web site from different locations around the world
• Utilizing the different physical locations (branches) that your organization may already possess, coordinating the execution of your test plan with coworkers at the offices
• Using a modem to dial ISP telephone numbers in different cities and factoring out the additional time for the cross-country modem connection
• Buy an “around the world” airplane ticket for one or more of the Web site’s testers
