Yep, sounds about right.

Although, depending on what sort of product you're providing, 100ms may 
not be a show-stopper;  it certainly isn't for the calling-card folks. 
   If the cost-savings of colocating in the US scale massively, it may 
be worth it.

But no, if you're providing phone service out of the UK, to the UK, 
looping it through the US is absurd, in principle.
