I Have seen a few 0ms results when the server is within 50 miles.

Mostly from Sweden.

I dont see how its misread, or else everyone else would get misread reading...

As you can see, almost 6pm, very busy period:


The speed of light, 299 792 458 M/s, the distance to the manchester server for you is around 50 miles or 80467M


80 467 / 299 792 458 = 0.00026840902

Aka. 2 milliseconds. meaning in an ideal world with absolutely no overheads or delays on the non fibre optic side of the cable network or delays on the network cards e.t.c you'd be able to get 2.6 ms latency to the server.
