this i what most people don't know
internet speed won't help you with the ping, it's the location
the distance between your location and the server determines your ping, not your internet speed
yes it helps a little by having a good internet speed, very little in fact
here in Indonesia, we barely have 5 mbps connection speed, most of us are having like 512 kbps - 1 mbps
and guess what? we got 150 ms ping to Japan
even one of my friend who use 128 kbps connection got the same latency
as long as your connection doesn't give any RTO, you won't feel any lag
