How are you getting those single digit times? I can never get below 15 ms for both Google and CloudFlare. Any tips to improve this or its beyond my control?

You're just trying to make Australians jealous aren't you?

I'm getting ~60 and ~50 from Canberra.

Big cities are within half a ms range of various PoPs and IXes on fiber. Makes it possible to go even below 0.5 ms.

My ISP peers with cloudflare in Sydney (~40ms), even though there is a CF datacenter in Auckland, New Zealand (~10ms)

I'm in Wellington.

If you're using a cable or DSL modem, most of that latency is from the signal modulation between you and your ISP.

I'm getting ~40-50ms on both on Internode from Brisbane.

Australia, LOL.

You guys are 100ms from anywhere cool.

What do you get to internode from there? (@192.231.203.132)

I'm halfway up to newcastle getting ~10ms across the board, 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, and 192.231.203.132.

Of course performance on each is a different matter.

1.1.1.1 is giving the best response times @ 8-11ms.

Internode's is giving decent @ 10-14ms

8.8.8.8 is a bit wonky, sometimes I hit a 10ms route once they cache it, but propagation is very slow and most responses are 140-180ms.

Sorry for the late response: to Internode (192.231.203.132) I get 36 ms. This is all on (rather terrible) ADSL 2+
