Since a lot of ISP equipment only has tiny buffers you will generally be unable to get great downloads from sources far away.

This is true for any application, in general.

500ms vs. 1ms for download efficiency will always show you what they are made of, regardless of how ridiculous the buffers are.

The solution has always been to get content as close to the eyeballs as possible. The positive side-effect with this, also, is that downloads complete sooner, freeing up the line quicker.
