That is pretty good latency for what it does, it's not just ICMP packages but sending/receiving audio and then all that comes with it.
How are you connecting your Quest and PC? Sounds awful, my latency to friends outside the city has a shorter latency than that and they are more than 10km away from me.
1 mile away, both of us have AT&T fiber, we're seeing 10-15ms response times (packet size ~1400).
100 miles away, both on AT&T fiber clocked in around 18-20ms
1 mile away, one on AT&T fiber the other on Comcast gigabit had response times around 24ms
100 miles away, one on AT&T fiber the other on Comcast gigabit had response times around 35ms
i'm hard pressed to believe you will find an american ISP that prioritizes low latency. verizon 5g home actually did some magic with their non-standard hardware where i was seeing 9ms to my in-town datacenter and 16ms to my out-of-state datacenter. when they replaced the hardware with the standards-compliant generation of hardware my latency increased to 30ms in-town (they also changed towers so that could be part of the problem, plus congestion during prime time)
i just moved where i am 6 blocks away from my friend who i did the 1 mile test with. i will retest this afternoon and update this comment
I see 3ms ping times between my friend and I on opposite sides of London, though we’re both on pretty decent broadband tech (me gfast, him some fancy hyperoptic plan). IIUC there are some ADSL technologies that add some minimum latency floor of 10+ ms. However the long distance stretches of backbone fibre shouldn’t necessarily add too much latency - e.g 100km of fibre at 2/3rd speed of light is an additional 1ms on your (two way) ping time
Maybe because you refuse to use wires and instead use WiFi which can have really bad latency? If you really, really, really want to use WiFi, get a dedicated PCIe/external WiFi optimized for latency and you can get close to Ethernet latency.
