My first 56 kilobit leased line internet connection was $2500 a month back in '93. My current home gigabit connection is 17857 times faster, 38 times cheaper. INSANE.

I still remember “fondly” my days of tuning PPP settings to try to get decent latency on QuakeWorld on my Mac for dialup games.

I used to play Quake 3 on Italian servers back in Israel, 80ms and it worked well. Now I’m 2ms from http://google.com , it’s wild.

Remember when 10ms to a computer next to you was acceptable lol

Layman here. Is this mostly on the software side and assuming the physical infrastructure is sufficient? I wonder at what point better infrastructure stops being a factor and it's purely down to ingenious handling of the information on the software end of things.

The point is probably that the network backbone is highly efficient and tuned from a routing and switching perspective. Also "the cloud," CDNs, and so-called edge computing has enabled sites used by applications (smartphones) and computers to be much closer to the consumer.
