20-30ms seems high? At least in the UK a typical home broadband latency is 6 to 9ms in my experience.

- kn0where 7y agoUSA has no (local) competition for internet, it’s almost all regional monopolies or duopolies where one (cable TV company) is expensive and ok and the other (copper wire phone company) is slow and unreliable.
- Loughla 7y agoSome places (mine) are, by local ordinance, unable to receive high speed internet because the company that owns the rights/stupid ass poles that they run everything on along the road offers high speed internet access ALREADY. . . . SO COOL!! How do they do it? By defining high speed as dial-up speeds in the ordinance they helped the local small, technologically inept government craft! God Bless The USA
- stcredzero 7y agoBack in the early 2000's in Ohio, under 80ms round trip latency was once advertised as 'leet gamer stuff.
- ahje 7y agoThere's a lot of people who can't get fiber when you get outside the cities. I'd be thrilled if I could get under 35ms.
- mattlondon 7y ago6-9ms is not fibre here - I was referring to copper ADSL that is available pretty much everywhere in the UK (apart from some really isolated tiny villages/hamlets)
