it's actually a bit longer than these times as the speed of light you are listing is the speed of light through a vacuum, going through fiber is noticeably slower.

Interesting point!
http://blog.advaoptical.com/speed-light-fiber-first-build... suggests that one should expect approximately a 33% increase in these times for the fiber optics.
(Additionally, they should be doubled due to round-trip time, as per my follow-up comment.)
