Latency is a limitation for things that are generally relatively low bandwidth (interactive audio, zoom, etc.).
Higher bandwidth won’t solve the latency problem

IMO as we enter the 'post-gigabit era', an extra 1 Gbps to the home will matter less than 100 ms or 500 ms lower 
working latency (optimally sub-50 ms, if not sub-25 ms). The past is exclusively speed-focused -- the future will be 
speed + working latency + reliability/resiliency + consistency of QoE + security/protection + WiFi LAN quality.
