What if networking technology improves to the point where sub-millisecond ping times become commonplace?

Most ISP-provided routers will sulk very badly if required to maintain more than about a hundred simultaneous NAT mappings.
a fair few consumer grade routers will too.
like pretty much all of them that are sub 50$ will, even with replacement firmware. i've also encountered $120+ ones that are incapable of sucha feat, but at that point i'm fairly certain it's deliberate sabatage there.

@flabdablet I just tried pinging my router while streaming HD video
min = 64ms, max = 1836 ms, average = 855 ms

@anonymous234 Is all your traffic being routed through your fridge perchance? Because that would explain the ping times (and also, congrats, you and your fridge have been pwned.)

The speed of light has some room for improvement:

@hungrier I blame daylight saving time.

I blame gravity ... all these obese people are distorting the gravitational field

They should all move to Antarctica. Then the lack of spin will balance out their mass.
Also they'll be a great source of blubber for scientists to survive on in case of an emergency.

@boomzilla I blame time dilation.
Time goes by slower. so light can't get that far.

@boomzilla It keeps on slipping because you're not using the 4-simultaneous 24 hour days!

According to this google.com.au search result, that would probably work.
