How so? Surely the variable ping times and packet loss affect both scenarios equally?

How so? Surely the variable ping times and packet loss affect both scenarios equally?
- jimmydorry 6y agoHow can that remotely be true? It's easy to forget in a world where the internet has defacto concentrated into the hands of a select few CDNs, but behind each of those CDNs are origin servers, serving the content to those CDNs. Servers can be housed in different data centres, different countries, etc. Specific servers can have hardware issues or be congested, while others remain unaffected, etc.
