   Normally, yes, but not always. Fibres are often routed in mysterious ways. It would be interesting to see what latency you get. Here's what the German site kloth.net gives on a ping to my PoP vs. what you get to your PoP:

PING 82.96.56.14 (82.96.56.14) 56(84) bytes of data.

   mdev is of course the most interesting data here...
