In Lebanon i have around 30k users behind few IP addresses(around 6) (for 
web).
Because backbone here $1200/Mbit, and satellites mostly(rtt 400+ ms)... so TCP 
accelerators and caching proxy a must. Tproxy doesn't work well yet to use 
full set of ip's.

And no local google/youtube servers, so maybe i'm affected by something? :-)
