Beyond a certain point, access bandwidth only reduces latency so much. In fact, at about 5 Mbps, no matter how much faster the local access link gets, latency in the access network does not improve much at all.
And that applies for fixed and mobile networks, and especially for users who do lots of web surfing, use web apps, and are on Chromebooks, which, by definition, do everything in the cloud.
Distance across a wide area network does add latency, though, which is why content delivery networks improve user experience.
