The measured round trip time from California to Maine is under 100 ms. Sanity check: The US is 3000 miles east-west. A mile is 5000 feet. The speed of light is 1 ft/ns in vacuum. So that's ballpark of 15ms one way, 30 ms round trip. Fiber is slower than vacuum and fibers don't take the direct path. A factor of 3 seems reasonable. -- These are my opinions.
