This is why serving your content from a CDN is so important: even in the internet age, being geographically closer to your customers is advantageous. A trip from a device in London to a server in New York has a theoretical best-case speed of 28ms over fibre, but this makes lots of very optimistic assumptions. Expect closer to 75ms.
