the latency has nothing to do with your line bandwidth,
you can get the same ping RTT with a T1 and a 128k line.
short latency is a nice thing to have. especially if you do alot of
streaming audio/video and interactive application over the internet.
I wouldn't measure internet performance only by ping RTT.
