The speed of light sets a minimum bound even if you don't account for that, and these are coming up less than the minimum bound.

It also reminds me of this old story: https://web.mit.edu/jemorris/humor/500-miles

Would be even slower as the light will travel slower in the optical fiber and there will be time associated with each repeater as well.
