You're absolutely right and speeds to Google have gotten much faster over time. For what it's worth, I just ran a quick ping test and got 26ms average latency

You're absolutely right and speeds to Google have gotten much faster over time. For what it's worth, I just ran a quick ping test and got 26ms average latency to google.com so I should have checked before I posted. Thanks for keeping me in check. Still this is dependent on where you are, your ISP, other general factors, and it's still within an order of magnitude which was the point of the "quiz"
