it won't be the first time i've missed something :-)
my point is that regardless of how good of a connection you have to the
Internet or of how good the hosting facility is, you're usually passing
over more than one hop owned by more than one carrier and have no
control over latency.
trace route tells all.

Jon is contrasting the merits of a leased line with a shared connection
(VPN or NO-VPN). More than this, the selection of the leased line
technology/provider is relevant. Placement of a switch/gateway/proxy or
whatever is one matter, the network facilities are another.
