In this case they being Google and their being Google's IP space (but you can replace Google w/ any provider using caching servers).
this has the same uncertainty problems with other folk I imagine.
When I was using Comcast 6to4 gateway, the latency wasn't too bad (I'm a Comcast customer). If the anycast is being broadcast from a regional datacenter and your ISP has good connectivity, the latency shouldn't be bad (in the QIX case above, the latency shouldn't be any worse than QIX's IPs unless someone started advertising the same anycast subnet w/ a lower cost).
there are a lot of ifs there... and failover is where the problems arise :(
