Timings were measured on a consumer internet connection in Japan (Fiber connection, 10 Gbps nominal bandwidth) during a limited test run in a short time period.

"consumer internet connection in Japan", "10 Gbps nominal bandwidth"

Coming from a third world country, that surprises me.

The 10gbit connection costs me ¥5,000/mo (around USD 30/mo), which was actually slightly cheaper than I was paying for 1 Gbit...

The main issue is latency and bandwidth across the oceans since Asia far away from the US where a lot of servers live, and even for services that are distributed, I live in a rural prefectural capitol of Japan 1000 km away from Tokyo where all the "Japan" data centers are, so my ping is always unimpressive despite the bandwidth.
