Theoretical Fiber Latency
The public physical reference uses the GeoNames city centres for Melbourne (-37.81400, 144.96332) and Miami (25.77427, -80.19366). It does not disclose either facility address.
| Physical Reference | Value |
|---|---|
| WGS-84 geodesic distance | 15,591.9 km |
| Vacuum RTT floor | 104.02 ms |
| Standard fiber RTT floor () | 152.69 ms |
| Low-latency fiber material floor | 152.07 ms |
| Engineering floor (5% path allowance) | 160.34 ms |
| Research 1.33× mapped-fiber reference | 203.07 ms |
| Estimated unamplified path loss | 3274.3 dB |
| Transparent optical spans / inline amplifiers | 205 / 204 |
| Published RTT inflation over fiber floor | 1.31× |
Attenuation is used to estimate the number of 80 km optical spans; it does not directly slow light. See the full theoretical fiber latency, GeoNames, attenuation, and amplifier methodology.

About This Measurement
Published RTT reflects best-case backbone path behavior. End-user latency also depends on local access networks, congestion, routing policy, and traffic engineering. Stability indicators are comparative estimates, and none of these values is an SLA.
