Yes but. I'm looking right now at a mtr (traceroute) screen from a rural fibre-to-the-premises broadband connection in Lancashire, north-west UK, achieving 2.5ms RTT to Manchester (the nearest major city, ~60km) and 8.5ms RTT to London (~325km). Things are improving. That's only ~10x and ~8x the light travel time, assuming straight lines which is best case. ~8.3x and ~5.3x respectively if you consider that light is much slower in fibre than air. |
