Provided you have a decent cable or VDSL connection (not some crappy oversuscribed CMTS or something) the latency difference isn't really that much. After the CMTS/DSLAM it's all fiber anyways and the additional delay comes from the first hop from CPE to the provider. Fiber: 1-2ms DSL: 10ms (fastpath), 20ms (interleaved) Cable: 15-20ms Jitter is near 0 for fiber and is typically <5ms on a good cable/DSL connection. All additional delays will be the same provided you're using the same ISP/routing. So say if you're connecting to your company's network with 50ms latency over fiber you may say get 65ms over cable. Over a SSH connection I can't feel the difference.
