It all depends on where you're pinging from. If you're pinging from a host which is connected via INEX to the target site, it will be a lot faster than pinging from a host that is getting routed over to London before coming back to the target.
For example with Spiral Hosting's claims, the test would be skewed if their Dublin, Belfast, Cork and Galway test sites were on Netsource or NTL connection. Web World (Spiral's Hosting providers) are using NTL and Netsource for transit, so pings from a Netsource or NTL DSL connection to Spiral would be faster than to the other hosts mentioned.
