As a software developer I do find the level of service far superior on the other side of Pacific. Many hosting companies that I am using now are really "operated by geeks for the geeks", which are hard to come by in Australia. @Duncan — “bugger loyalty” I thought it is easy for me to say as I wasn’t born in Australia (not that I am not a proud Australian now :) It is just that “good latency” and “support Australian hosting industry” has been used many times on hosting forums to push people to use expensive services here.

If you get a decent West Coast provider most of the time you wont notice the speed difference, and as you found it's often quicker. More important things to spend money on than propping up the local hosting industry :-) bugger loyalty, Australian hosts over charge and under supply.
