Wow, that is terrible performance for the first hop - that's double
the time I see when I ping someone flying with Lufthansa, using 
their in-flight broadband service!! Incidentally, I'm really amazed at 
the operation of in-flight boardband - guys I work with have actually
held VOIP conversations with one party in Munich and the other mid
atlantic - no noticable dropout & only a 1 sec delay, which is not
at all bad IMHO.
