Indeed - I've been using the Internet since the early 1990s and I'm constantly amazed that I can be playing a multi-user game (e.g. WoT) with tens of people in multiple countries and get sub 50ms ping times.

What's even more impressive is how games like WOT hands multiple users with different latencies, and how they attempt to hide that from you! Reminds you that the ping number you see on screen is (almost) meaningless when you start to dig into it
