And the news server/games servers are located locally on by's network consider it like a machine connected directly to your cable modem.... Past this you go out to the real world or the internet as we call it. You're not using a lot of p2p software are u ?

Check out these pings to a machine in a London datacentre a few hops away from the bbc....
With my line idle we average 10ms (not bad and prolly the best you get out of by) with the odd spike here or there ....
scroll down and see the pings go haywire from me just simply uploading a file.
If you're uploading or have a certain percentage of upstream expect to get your wrists slapped and told to stand in the corner
