Default OT - ISP

In article ,

Thanks, Larry. is the latency pretty short? as in just a
minute or two?

I've never seen anything over a few seconds, and that's getting
the connection. If I click on an article header, I get the text
almost instantly.

Of course there are exceptions when the whole net is bogged
down, but I haven't known them to be any slower than anything
else.

The only drawback is that they have a short timeout - about 5
minutes, so if I spend a long time composing a response I have
to reconnect. Doesn't happen often.
