Apparently imperceptible differences in latency can be felt vividly through break of habit.

A couple of years back, I didn't have any experience with online games and was introduced to a popular one by one of my friends. As we were playing some introductory matches, 400ms latency connection felt very instantaneous to me, while he felt super annoyed and advised me to change my ISP. Some months after changing my ISP and regularly playing the game, I could instinctively feel the difference between a 60ms connection and a 120ms connection.
