Similar to Bill's improvement. If that holds for all fibre, I stand to get a 3ms ping.

Get what's left of the aluminium replaced with copper and the reply packets will be arriving before you send the ping

I've just got to find an ISP that will service the connection.

They were in Tebay when I needed them.
