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.

The server could be much closer.
I live almost next to the City Centre, most likely where the server is?
Or based around the Uni of Manchester which I know has a very powerful Inertnet Conection which also supplies a few collages.
Your looking at around 2 - 5 miles then....
Ive just looked on google and the company is 5.1 miles away....
So im guessing, doing the maths again means its 2 micro seconds or 0.2 ms ?
Which would explain why its "0ms" as speedtest rounds it down....
