Blako Posted March 19, 2005 CID Share Posted March 19, 2005 Ping mostly measures distance right? I am in western USA and my worst pings are to hosts in Europe or the UK, such as 500ms. Testmy.net is in Dallas TX and I have a ping of 52ms. Two questions, what kind of internet? and where you live? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hew Jass Posted March 19, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 19, 2005 I'm measuring the pings in a game called Sounter Strike Source and my server is located in Chicago, I live 10 minutes away.. I used to have pings of around 60-80 (still bad but much better than the 110 im currently getting.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

php Posted March 19, 2005 CID Share Posted March 19, 2005 yes, ping time is mainly dependent on distance, but bad routers etc can also increase ping time your ping doesnt necessarily go straight to the server, it could go halfway across the country first, but that normally isnt the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blako Posted March 19, 2005 CID Share Posted March 19, 2005 Comcast.net is high speed...so less then 100ms "Great, typical of a high-speed cable or DSL connection." 100-200ms "Good, common for cable and DSL connections." 200-400ms "Fair, usually seen with dialup connections or faraway sites." This is a ping test, but you need activeX http://pcpitstop.com/internet/pinger.asp I got Dallas, TX, USA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hew Jass Posted March 19, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 19, 2005 64 (42 after a few good tries) 118 (111 after a few tries) 221 (got 250+ usualiy) 59 86 258 Maybe a bit better than yours but trust me I get less than 60% of what I'm supposed to be getting on most tests here.. And for some reason my tests go down ALOT after each try.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blako Posted March 19, 2005 CID Share Posted March 19, 2005 Your speed tests continue to fall here? Hew Jass's Download Average = 2298 Kbps comcast.net Download Average = 3172 Kbps When I do a speed test I have less then 28 Processes going, I make sure that no packets are moving prior to the test, and my cpu usage is under 2%.
