The ITU-T recommendation is that “up to 150 ms mouth-to-ear delay can be tolerated by the human ear with virtually no quality loss” and in my experience, that’s held true.  They are definitely going to notice the delay.

Subject: [VoiceOps] Maximum latency

One of our larger customers is about to launch a new call center in Malaysia.  The connection there is fast, the trace looks surprisingly clean and short, but latency is consistently at 239-245ms.  We've never knowingly had a connection over 130ms.  Does anyone have experiences, good or bad, with latency approaching a quarter second?  The jitter level seems fine, so I believe they'll just have a delay but decent call quality.
