historic round trip latency not accurate #8

As a former Netrek player I am intimately familiar with the round trip latency from Europe to the US in the 90s. It was more like 300ms to the west coast for most of the 90s. Even the east coast didn't dip below 100ms until several years later.

If you have a decent model for computing the WAN latencies in the 90's, I'd be happy to accept a pull request!

Based on https://www.cloudping.co/grid/p_99/timeframe/1W roundtrip latency would be ~300ms. 300 ms matches my experience too.
