How are you measuring? Everyone is saying they get such low latency, I just ran a ping to 8.8.8.8 and get the following on my colo server in a Las Vegas data center:
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=1 ttl=115 time=12.7 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=2 ttl=115 time=11.4 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=3 ttl=115 time=10.6 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=4 ttl=115 time=10.9 ms
I get about the same from my home cable internet connection.
