Speaking as a Brit ....One big ‘problem’ with the UK Internet (lets just forget all about the other problems with UK for a while) is that most of the internet is still based on the old ‘twisted pair’ telephone cables and switching circuits.   Really great in its day - but that day was sometime in 1963 (possibly ‘late September’)! ... but not designed to deal with all the data traffic - especially now everyone is streaming video.

Yes - we had a ‘fibre roll-out’ about 20 years ago - but that really concentrated on the bigger cities and the towns around the south - the company who laid the cable went broke and has been bought a few times over .... but still seems to use the same servers.  So the ‘system’ is a bit of a mess.  What we have works well for data (but slowly if your are well into the countryside and a good rule of thumb is ‘if you have a good view - you dont need good internet’) ... and there is significant latency before you start processing audio.

I get 11.5ms latency to my ISP server ..... anything else is on top of that.  I have taken part in 4 ‘jammer’ JK sessions with total latency reported of 35 ms ... that all worked just fine

Far East, Scandinavia, Germany, Holland & most of US Installed a complete fibre system for data (or are still doing so) ... colleagues in those places get ISP latency in 3-4ms range.  Africa, India, South America are poorly served at present - mostly they use WiFi services or Satellite based internet - this has much higher latency.  ... local connections can be better.
