40-100ms is standard latency on any sort of internet enabled software even on the most average connection, and has been for a decade or more. I get 60ms latency on my phone hot spot.

If you have 500ms ping your problem is not the internet, it's something local to your building or computer, I hate to be the one to break it to you!

Buddy we're way past the 500ms thing. I never said that I or anyone else has ever had a ping like that, it was just a hypothetical to illustrate how latency-tolerant most networked services are (to contrast with gaming).
Buddy you were the one who said you were running Netflix with that number.
Buddy are you paid by google to shill so hard?
