Ping output:
PING google.com (74.125.226.233): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 74.125.226.233: icmp_seq=0 ttl=46 time=314.505 ms

--- google.com ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0.0% packet loss

round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 314.505/314.505/314.505/0.000 ms
Note my DNS are set to 8.8.8.8 AND 8.8.4.4
