Seems pretty damned reasonable to me considering the shortest
distance between these two locations is a little less than 14,000
kilometers. Given the speed of light through glass, a convoluted
fiber path, quite a few O/E - E/O conversions (EDFAs will only get
you so far), and several switches, a 350ms RTT is decent.
Removing the gear and assuming an impossibly direct fiber path, would
still give an RTT of about 140ms.
