Latency kind of either matters or it doesn't. Non-algorithmic execution is completely latency insensitive (since milliseconds are imperceptible to humans), while algorithmic execution is extremely latency sensitive.
Considering how poor my experience has been with Spectrum, Xfinity/comcast, and AT&T, a true 50mbps would actually be pretty good. Cable internet isn't that far off from 99/month when you go past the lowest speed package.
