RonAKA - Speed tests are a little different than the latency to the game server in question. Ookla will typically use the server closest to you so you'll often see a very low ping. Fortnite servers are in California. (Existing discussion about Fortnite latency) Change server locations on speedtest.net to one in California and you'll see the difference.
Saadafsy I'm on 25mbps bonded copper and get about 70ms average to Fortnite servers (east and west coast). It's playable for me at least.
The problem with Epic is they are using Amazon AWS for their peering/network. Most of the AWS nodes do not respond to ping tests. It's nearly impossible to tell where along the connection the additional latency is being introduced. Epic's tech support also has no idea what to do in regards to complaints about latency. I've asked them already on more than one occasion. I suspect the issue is likely with AWS but I don't know of any way to have Epic or AWS look into this.
