My guess would be it is because of geography.
West Carol Parish is 121 feet above sea level. Your ping times are 650-680 ms.
Livingston parish is 41 feet above sea level. My ping time is 672-691 ms.
My guess would be, the higher your elevation the lower the ping time.
A Hillbilly living in the mountains is naturally going to have a slightly less ping time that one of us Cajuns living in Louisiana.
I could be completely wrong, but that just my guess as to why some people get better ping times.

Of course, start transferring huge files and thats a different story. But most people don't do that and just browse the internet and watch Youtube.
Regardless, there will still be people complaining that they can't get 100 mbps. That speed will be possible, the question is, do you want to pay the premium for it?

I mentioned 5 mbps because that is exactly the amount of data Netflix uses for HD content.
As far as web browsing goes, pages won't load any faster whether your connection is 5 mbps or 100 mbps.
Its a lot like how people were buying 54 mbps wireless routers back in the day (late 90s, early 2000s) thinking it would let them surf the internet faster than an 11 mbps router. Back then, the fastest internet connection anyone was selling was 3 mbps.
It boggled my mind to hear salesmen at CompUSA telling people how much faster the internet would be with the latest wifi router.
