Brian has a point.  Australia to Singapore (wrong way) over the HP
Internet is probably the reigning DX.  Minimum round trip time seems to
be about 2 seconds (adding together the ping time from California to
each location).  

On a different topic, we seem to have some INTERESTING routing to
Australia.  Check out this ping report:
