My connection point is about 1.5 miles away. I get about 4-6ms latency on my end device. That's going through my router, wireless access point, to my device.

and it's also very consistent. It's not dealing with the million redirects and other traffic that going through the phone line or cable line will have.

In very heavy rain and hind wind, my direct TV dish was out at the start of the storm, my internet p2p connection never lost signal, didn't even slow down.
