EDIT: Initial Results - Flow is the clear latency winner

Flow really pulls ahead at peak periods. This could change if Flow gets a larger market share and doesn't keep up with their infrastructure.
Above are the simple average pings done at approximately the same time from the same residence to the same IP (not using domain names, as they sometimes resolve to different IPs.)
I have the fastest residential package for each service. Download speeds are about the same, but Flow's upload is faster - at least when I checked (1.3 MBit vs. 400 Kbit; Blink's upload speed varies a lot, though.)
Update: I am getting 15 Mbit down / 2 Mbit up fairly consistently now after reconfiguring and restarting my router.
Original Post:
Does anyone have any data for latency between the two services?
For a realisitic comparison the information would have to come from the same general geographic location, to the same IP address (preferably in the US), and around the same time.
Thank you to anyone who has actually done this; if no one posts I may end up getting a Flow account and test myself.
