What did they cry about?

The speedtest.net result?

Loading google.com in a fraction of a second?

or was it that you didn't have 75 ms of garbage in the way?

That you didn't go through a congested port between the PC and the destination?

That you were hard wired instead of single-chain 802.11n WiFi going through 5 walls?

That you were using a local recursive resolver DNS server?

I’ve had people cry about how fast the internet is at my office…

 

I guess your mileage may vary, but yes humans do notice those kinds of delays and they are cumulative.  (It’s not just 
bandwidth, it’s latency.  The 3ms ping in my signature is real too.)
