Just fyi.
It doesn't matter how great the internet is. It still has to pass the trans Atlantic/Pacific line over to the western hemisphere. This makes sub 100ms impossible for anyone in North/Central/South America. It also has to plot to other segments before reaching that line. It all depends on how the ISP routes to the line and how that person's ISP routes as well. That is why AUS has high ping as well. Their line hasn't been updated to fibre like the trans Atlantic/Pacific line.
OP is most likely on US realms meaning the ping plot for retail is great for his ISP to retail servers. In retail, my server is in CA and I am in AZ, so my ping never went above 80ms on any ISP, funny thing is Centurylink (DSL) plotted better on retail, but Cox (Cable) plots better for Nost. All depends on ISP really, but sub 100ms going across seas won't happen due to distance (light can travel only so fast). this previous example also explains plot points vary for local ISPs as well, even with a VPN.
Edit:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transatla ... ions_cable Check the ms latency. This is the line itself, not including local and server end plot points. The same would be for transpacific most likely.
Edit: fixed phone's auto correct.
