> Network delay can be just a few milliseconds even across a city, assuming that no latency murdering devices (wifi or nics in interrupt mitigation mode) are on the path. Even with fiber all ISPs I have ever used at home have latency murdering devices between my modem and their connection to the Internet. And I have to go through these hops even if I connect to an IP on the same IP. Best I ever got was 12ms. Once you connect your laptop to the Internet in a data center you will instantly know what I mean.
