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.
