Each hop adds time and well PacFibre was using direct pipe as lower latency than SC.

Sure, but the TBD to the US still would have been a bitch for a lot of applications, the numbers I had seen bandied about were around the 70ms mark best case. Which isn't that much better to the 130ms of the existing paths.

I think the proposed path by PF was potentially a few ms (~5-8ms) faster than the existing cable. -- James
