Right, that's why I asked where the 3 days come from.

I found an India website and I'm located in Ohio. That's pretty close to the opposite side of the world. I'm assuming it's a terrestrial service. My results are comparable to others in this thread, 200-280 ms on the higher end.

If you start going GSO satellite or airplanes, that likely changes things.
