His first hop point on fibre would be a lot less than that unless he had a sizeable delay from interleaving. With no interleaving maybe 10-14ms range
He was thinking of going to Sky if he changed to fibre as they got Sky TV, so it work out cheaper. But after chatting to him at work, it looks like he will be staying on ADSL. with the problem another mate of mine is having with FTTC at the moment, I don't really blame him.
I think I made the right choice myself and gave fibre a miss for a while.
