Seriously, the normal ping in my area for a VDSL customer to Chicago speedtest.net servers is ~25 ms. For a FTTP customer, it is ~4 ms. Much quicker pings.
I'm one of those in the Chicago area that has the 20ms ping on the 1st hop. It is slightly annoying but it is tolerable. FTTP would be nice but i doubt it will ever happen in my area since it is nothing but copper and old homes.
