I don't know anything about your specific case... but with an 100% optimum
light-path you're looking at ~55 ms RTT between ANC-NYC (1ms RTT per
100km of fiber):

Of course fiber very seldom goes direct path, so 124ms sounds plausable
and could most likely be improved by a little bit by choosing another
provider, but would that really substantially improve your interactivity
problem?
