Actually, 100 to the router, and then the WAN connection to the remote

Yup

101 packets transmitted, 101 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 109.6/110.3/112.2 ms

I'm fairly sure. We echo the value to the file. catting it back
shows the correct value. If we go lower than default, it slows
down even more.
