With very conservative (and optimistic) calculation that's just 12 seconds (around 53 m/s AKA 190.8 kph average speed to travel that distance).

It's literally impossible to have latency difference of 12 seconds. Ping measures latency. To test it there is http://www.speedtest.net/. There's 0.00% chance to have 12000 ms ping even on 56K modems 😁

Edit: No idea where is FM holding their server(s) but they are located in Melbourne so I took that one and ran several tests. This was my worst one with 48 ms. Closer servers are all 3-7 ms.

48 ms over 9,900 miles is literally faster than the speed of light.
