Even at the gross level, I'm pretty sure that RTT CA <-> Netherlands has improved in the last 30 years too. e.g. in the early 90's a lot of international data traffic went via satellite, and packet switching times have also improved since then.

Not to mention the wire time of a datagram over such slow links is a long time, even ignoring the delays on individual devices. Also--- 500us ping in the "same datacenter" for all time? I remember pings on the same segment being 2-3 milliseconds typical in 1995-- let alone crossing some routers with 68030's in them.
