That is my experience today. My Linode is a lot closer to things on the Internet than my Spectrum connection. For example, if I ping the US/Central Overwatch server, it's 50ms from my home connection and 20ms from my Linode (which is 11ms away from home).
It is sometimes as much as 26ms to the first hop after my router, though, which is pretty amazing. That's enough time for light to travel 5000 miles.
