The only latency issue I had was where a 50ms delay just hopping into their system. From there on out it was lightning fast. Admittedly, my measly 256k/256k allotment didn't stress anything out there, maybe that is why it worked good for me? And when I did a TR on this or that site, it didn't make the hops your a describing. Most of my traffic hopped up to Seattle, and from there to the rest of the world with minimal hops.
