I'm assuming User -> Cloudflare, not User -> Cloudflare -> Endpoint

I guess is not a very impressive number in that case

It is, considering the majority of the internet-connected population is not on fiber.

Fiber does not impact latency

From a physics perspective, perhaps not.

From a real-world perspective, fiber buildouts almost always include newer hardware and better routing, resulting in lower ping times on average.

Additionally, fiber (along with copper) is going to be faster than anyone on satellite internet.

I think they mean 100ms real latency. HK-NY might be 110ms in theory (or if you have your own infrastructure), but a NY resident pinging a HK server will probably often average around at least 150-200ms.

Do you have reference for the 110ms ny-hk? I’m doing research on latency and wish to assess that information.

As a measure of fiber distance, it’s roughly 75 o/w from LA to HK via AAG and the balance lies between LA and NY. That’s before any delays created by layer 2,3 and up.
