Dear friends
My fiber optic Internet speed is 500/100Mbps. The Router is Fiber Gateway, Wi-Fi 6 model GR 141/140 made by Altice Labs in Portugal.
The ISP in Portugal is MEO - Serviços de Comunicações e Multimédia, S.A. da Altice
GPON up to 1000/400Mbps.
XGS-PON up to 8000/8000Mbps.
The ISP in USA is Optimum Fiber by Altice with Internet speeds up to 8000/8000Mbps XGS-PON
My present location is near: 39º North, 31º West.
Closer test ping: 212.55.137.233 - MEO Ponta Delgada, pd1.meo.pt
The latency and speed tests on Testmy.net are accurate.

The main submarine cable to reach mainland Portugal, Europe is Columbus-III Azores-Portugal.

My latency starts at +32ms ( Lisbon, Portugal ) to the rest of the world and for example:
London - 32+26=58ms
Miami - 32+131=163ms
The new Technoly in fiber otics "XGS-PON" have lower latency and also the Routers with Wi-FI 6 and 7 (wireless)
I have Wi-Fi 5 routers since 2015, like Asus, AC1900, TP Link AC1200, 1900, Tenda AC 1200, Xiaomi AC 1200, 2100. Just to remember 1 000ms is 1 (one) second, that´s why and I don´t wory with router latency, and i´am not going to install low orbit satellite internet to have a few milliseconds less in some cases.
Gamers online should use cable RJ45 like CAT 6.
That`s all I remember about "unloaded" latency
Under load latency is another story
Test with inexpensive Router with QSO and bandwidth limits.
MTU is perfect: 1500 (1472+28).
