What makes you think this? I play a UDP-based FPS game where "ping" times are critically important and it seems like latencies across the board have continued to drop over the years.
Latencies are ~2x the speed of light in most case. Not too shabby.
- riobard 10y agoYour connection looks pretty good. My home ISP throttles UDP traffic to about 5Mbps while TCP reaches 80+Mbps. Packet loss during peak hours can be as high as 60% for UDP but a manageable single digit percent for TCP. My workplace has anti-BitTorrent mechanism deployed and any meaningful amount of UDP outbound traffic is dropped.
