Ping times to the us
What causes the jump in ping times from one side of the atlantic to the other, i notice that the massive jump is always the hop from when it goes overseas?

Is it just the simple lag time it takes to get from one side of the ocean to the other (i thought fibre was lightspeed?) or are whatever deals with the data at either end overloaded?
