bandwidth != latency

  Yes, in particular, you can't just buffer ahead with a voice call, which is something you can do with a Netflix stream.

  They can suffer orthogonally, but when it comes to realtime, how much bandwidth you have compared to the data you want to carry absolutely matters for the latency you'll see. If a 10K "hello" voice sample (that takes 2 secs to be spoken) needs to pass through a 1Kbps bandwidth line, then it would have lotsa latency. In any case, we stream 4K movies with not much buffering (as evident by the ease of skipping ahead at random points). One would expect better audio latency based on that. And we also stream 4K video games as video streams (or Google claims so).
