Good luck with your move to a new ISP. It will be very interesting to see the differences in latency measurements between the old a new, once the new service is up and running.
And for the record, my comment was a bit of humour which no one seems to have appreciated - such is life in this super sensitive PC, SJW world we now all inhabit.
Secondly the 10 ms comment was NOT aimed at your post - where you spoke about 160 to 190 ms, but at one of the follow up comments.
But then, it would require you to see past your indignation to pick that up.
Lastly, this thread has the potential to have a really interesting debate about the real effects of latency on gaming and how the software developers handle it.
So far from what I have read, it seems the gaming industry is very reluctant to talk about the issue in detail and stick to generalisations.
Presumably, this is because the topic is too sensitive in terms of it potential impact in the market?
Political correctness and social justice as a climate is not at all related to the response you got, you were being a child and people weren't having it. That is all. But then, it would require you to see past your indignation to pick that up.

There are a lot of research papers on it, and pretty much every game that's online has some form of trying to minimize impact.
HI @PBCool
I just got off the line with the team and it now seems that there is an issue with "premise creation" at vumatel which was requested weeks ago according to cisp.
What do I do now? I have a Fibre line installed, this is literally just admin... Please help

though that one isn't peer reviewed so careful with it, better to follow the references.
Sorry, most of the stuff I look at is usually behind paywalls, but this stuff is pretty well established, and you can find stuff on specific game engines as well on how they handle them (player side vs server side impact validation, etc.).
