More likely a couple hundred ms. I believe what is being seen is the
result of Cogent trying to get established in Asia. They won't pay to
peer with the established players, and those players don't want Cogent
disrupting their market, so their peering in Asia is rather poor. If
you're successful in forcing traffic from networks on NTT or other "Asian
service providers" to ingress on your Cogent port, you're not going to
like the result, as that traffic will take the scenic route via the west
coast US or possibly Europe (twice) before reaching you.
As an NTT customer, perhaps Edvinas should complain to NTT about their
lack of peering [in Asia] with Cogent making it difficult to utilize your
Cogent port. Of course, that's intentional on NTT's part...so they're
unlikely to care about your complaint.

Cogent didn't peer with NTT and PCCW in Asia so it's normal if they still
prefer local routes. Otherwise
the latency might be at least 100ms.

providers to make route via Cogent more attractive. But nothing helps -
seems main providers in
Asia made routes via Cogent least preferable by lowering the local
preference to it, that why
prepending from our side doesn't help.
