And that's what I have been trying to say all along! Believe it or not the gaming community does NOT make the world go round for large Telecommunication Cos. Corporates accounts do! "DECENT" routing speeds is once again a loose term.
That is a question that only they can answer but it all depends on the costs, ISP backbone, their tie
ups with different providers among several others. Latency and lag has been the bane of the internet since the beginning. Some of it due to last mile connectivity issues and some because of the ISPs NOC and backbone network. It differs from case to case
Dude, Latvia is the size of a postage stamp compared to India with its BILLIONS of users including over mobile and wireless internet, fiber, DSL among others. There's no comparison. Fact is India's bandwidth availability compared to it's size and population is low.
I have seen trouble tickets for fiber broadband in Europe back when the fastest available speed in India was a measly 16 Mbps over
ADSL. But it was a massive improvement in performance over the then prevalent ADSL or at best VDSL connection even in Western EU.
So, most people have something to whine about their internet connectivity just like we all do with mobile cos whether Jio or Airtel etc. Now believe me when I tell you a home broadband user gets no SLAs and no guarantees of up time or latency. All ISPs do is tell the customer "you will get x amount of data at y speed"
but no guarantees of performance or uptime. I would seriously encourage you to read the CAF and/or the contract form which we all fill up when opting for the connection.

I get a 5-6 ms ping to AWS's Mumbai servers.
Now for the fine print with my 3 ISPs:
Tata Sky Broadband -
Subscription Contract
I quote:
You Broadband -
YOU Broadband - Terms & Conditions
See Pt # 24
Airtel broadband -
Airtel T&C
See pt 10
Net, net - there's nothing any subscriber can do. Except possibly change to another one. Save your breath.
