Seems not-unreasonable. I remember getting about 150ms or 250ms from London to Gurgaon depending on whether we were on the straight-across cable or the round-the-bottom cable. (Sorry, both my geography and my cable-names are hazy).
The best recent data I have is from Bangalore to Tyco Road in Virginia through VSNL and Cogent. Here is a sample (this goes through San Jose) : Mon Mar 5 05:26:21 EST 2007 from Bangalore through the VSNL network --- 63.105.122.1 ping statistics --- 10 packets transmitted, 10 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 285.495/319.649/395.330/38.576 ms 370 ms seems a little high but not unreasonable. Regards Marshall Eubanks
Going east from NY, you'd add 70 or 80ms to that - and a quick look suggests routes going west instead. (Test from home to .IN NS goes London -> NY -> West Coast -> Singtel -> India, for ~370ms)
It's starting to head a bit towards walkie-talkie mode for VoIP, but not too bad other than that...
