Openreach FTTP Ping

From where, to where? Openreach get your FTTP connection back to a handover exchange and that's it. If an ISP put their equipment next door to that exchange and hosted a Speedtest server then your ping would be 1ms or lower.
 
I think 7-8ms is satisfactory

Mines come down over the year and with some internal changes 4.5 is the best I can get currently
