Modern LTE latency is comparable to DSL/Cable at <=30ms in many cases. Sure fiber latency is lower, but until that is available to the same amount of people as DSL/Cable the mobile technology will have advanced too.
Online gaming and streaming is totally fine over a LTE connection, the only problem is bandwidth caps. (This might not apply to professional gamers, but i consider those a niche)
- ferongr 10y ago30ms is abysmal.
- rayiner 10y agoThat's roughly the transit latency from Texas to the coasts. By your logic even a fiber link from Texas to NYC will have "abysmal" latency.
- kayoone 10y agoIt's totally fine for any kind of realtime online interactions though, unless you are a super competitive gamer, but even then many do not have access to fiber and still do well Also note that i am saying "lower than or equal", my current LTE connection gives me 18ms ping to nearby locations, same as my cable connection.
