--- 216.83.133.31 ping statistics ---
115 packets transmitted, 110 received, 4% packet loss, time 114472ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 85.143/98.723/113.719/4.661 ms, pipe 2

Pretty sad I must say.

My colocation server in Argentina on a 1 Mbps link (pinging from Utah) 
even did better:

--- sip.caflo.com ping statistics ---
92 packets transmitted, 92 received, 0% packet loss, time 91376ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 224.228/225.353/250.500/2.978 ms, pipe 2

Someone is blowing smoke.  But that's just my 2 cents.
You should forward this whole thread to Fiber.net.
