Wow... 817 ping! :eek:

You should run it again. You can run it multiple times. Something is going on there with that ping!

Latency has always sucked for me at home -- suspect it's my old Toshiba cable modem. I used to work in the satellite communications arena where I got used to high latency and anything under a second for a double hop is tolerable.

I wonder if it would make much difference if I tried in the middle of the night?

You might get slightly better but latency is usually caused by number of hops and speed of network devices. High use periods usually cause latency at a server rather than the backbone unless its a real challenged environment like in a tactical AOR.
