Hi Walu,
because of the distance its likely that we cannot achieve the less than
100ms on Fiber.
See this presentation on how to calculate latency on fiber and one can
deduce what we will expect as a result
http://jason-evans.com/post/73501683/quick-fiber-latency-reference
Therefore Nairobi to London to USA return will always be about 200ms.
Regards,
Michuki.
