Hi!

Either you're looking only at the loop contribution, or you're in the
SF bay area and nearly every "typical site" is available locally.
Here in the relatively backwater Seattle suburbs, unless it's served
by Microsoft or a content distribution network, there are substantial
latencies to typical sites.

To make it concrete I used Windows ICMP tracert against a few sites
from both cable and DSL in the Seattle suburbs.  First from a
consumer-grade cable offering:

Then from a business-class telco DSL (complete with more than 1 static
IP, someone tie me down lest my soul escape my body from sheer joy!):

I am in the Netherlands, and its pretty common there to have low latency on DSL ;)

Bye,
Raymond.
