Theoretical Fiber Latency
The public physical reference uses the GeoNames city centres for Miami (25.77427, -80.19366) and New York City (40.71427, -74.00597). It does not disclose either facility address.
| Physical Reference | Value |
|---|---|
| WGS-84 geodesic distance | 1,753.2 km |
| Vacuum RTT floor | 11.7 ms |
| Standard fiber RTT floor () | 17.17 ms |
| Low-latency fiber material floor | 17.1 ms |
| Engineering floor (5% path allowance) | 18.03 ms |
| Research 1.33× mapped-fiber reference | 22.83 ms |
| Estimated unamplified path loss | 368.2 dB |
| Transparent optical spans / inline amplifiers | 24 / 23 |
| Published RTT inflation over fiber floor | 2.36× |
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.
