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 ?
Well believe what you wish I guess. I just know without a doubt it is a misread.

I mean the fact that pinging another computer over a crossover ethernet cable with no router between only just gets below 1 ms latency I just don't see it being accurate.

Macbook (2.13 ghz c2d, gb/s ethernet) linked directly to macbook pro (3.06 ghz c2d, gb/s ethernet)

Which would explain why its "0ms" as speedtest rounds it down....
show me a ping test, and a trace-route to http://www.xilo.net which shows pings anywhere near that low then. if its not a misread they'll get the same results.
