"A blistering 216 Mbps, with latency of less than 500 milliseconds"
500 milliseconds is .5 seconds, about the same as a satellite link, very bad.
According to Corridor Systems it should be 500 microseconds, very good latency.

Atlanta, GA | I don't think so. Try VOIP or Video conferencing over a high latency link. Not fun. |

Aw, 'cmon. What's the difference if you're off by a factor of 1,000?
(Best recent gaffe: the FCC, in its recent screed on telephone unbundling, mis-defined "DS-1" as a 1.544 MegaBYTE signal instead of 1.544 MegaBIT signal--and repeated the error for DS-3. When they issued a controversial "Errata" changing several other things in the Order, they missed these two....)
