Websites are not necessarily located in the country of origin. This one however happens to be actually located in Zimbabwe. The .zw indicates that it is a Zimbabwean based site but even that does not guarantee that the server that runs the site is in that country. Internet based commerce can be deceptive as to the source and the validity of the web site. Consumers today have to protect their information and research where they are purchasing their products from. However, the internet also allows for ease of access for not only the consumer but also for the company providing products. Who knows the companies could be based in the country of origin and it is only the website that has been outsourced to another country. 
The connection at CSUN seams to be a little faster then my computer at home. I am using a cable modem provided by Road Runner/Time Warner and would not give it up for the world. What surprised me was the various connection speeds from the different severs. Even when using the same sever and the same material I still got vastly different speeds. My IP address is 75.80.30.102
