does anyone get those kinds of numbers on an ISP?
It's about double that
Lava.net is currently using QWEST and TWTC: (lava.net was purchased by
Tri-net solutions and is still 100% locally owned)

latency from lava.net core to mainland is 60ms .
the physical distance adds (about)50ms no matter what.

On the backbone side, it is pretty much the same. Most ISPs has enough
upstream capacities to a few big carriers who have links to the mainland.
The big difference is the last mile. Road runner is less consistent since
it is shared with your neighbor. DSL latency is high, around 30ms to the
