On interleaved adsl lines it can get too high especially on BT wholesale because from here it goes to birmingham than to london.

On ukonline(easynet) I had a base latency of 8-9ms to the bbc with non existant jitter. They have a POP in my city which goes direct route to london.
BTw is about 17-25ms on fastpath depending how BT route it and about 35+ms on interleaving.
VM is about 14ms base but obviously varies with the jitter.
My VM used to be 14ms base, until routing sent me around the country...
Now it's 20-21m + jitter ~5. means i can have 26-27ms nearing interleaving standard.
