Reaching an overseas site means crossing borders, and the number of networks crossed jumps by several layers at once.",{"type":7,"html":106},"Every extra network crossed adds one more hop and a little more latency, a physical constraint, not any layer deliberately dragging its feet.

Latency is like how long it takes to drive from one end to the other; more lanes will not shorten that trip if the road itself is long and full of traffic lights. A slow cross-border connection is usually slow in the "how long does one trip take" sense, not the "are there enough lanes" sense.",{"type":7,"html":132},"Cross-border slowness is, more often than not, a latency problem rather than a bandwidth one. Bandwidth can be excellent and a page will still feel sluggish if every request needs a full cross-border round trip before it gets a response.

On the exact same link, different kinds of apps experience "slow" at completely different magnitudes, which is exactly why a slow page does not mean every app is slow.

A few hundred milliseconds of latency is basically unnoticeable scrolling through text messages; the same latency turns into obvious lag, or audio and video falling out of sync, on a video call.
