Better routing can definitely reduce that 100ms, I don't think that's purely capped by speed of light.

- Havoc 4y agoProbably will for google hosted resources, but beyond that no. Each additional cable has been making less & less of a difference on latency, especially for the ones taking approx the same route as existing. I'd imagine this is more google wanting the traffic on their own wires for strategic/cost/control reasons. That said more capacity & more redundancy is always a win. >speed of light. Yeah it is still well above. Unsure why but as per above more cables doesn't seem to be moving the needle anymore. I believe spacex sat route would shorten it though.
