This is a classic example of bandwidth vs. latency. You can transfer a helluva lot of data after the first byte arrives, but you’ll be waiting for that first byte for a looong time. It’s unfortunate that the words like “speed” and “fast” are often used without specifying whether that means bandwidth or latency - different scenarios often benefit from one or the other in very disproportionate ways.
