You're right it's usable, though DNS is the most critical service to have low latency. on good wifi with no interference you can get good 2ms avg and 0.2-0.4 m

You're right it's usable, though DNS is the most critical service to have low latency.
on good wifi with no interference you can get good 2ms avg and 0.2-0.4 ms SD ping distribution.
ethernet will have 0.2 ms avg and 0.01 SD
it's the outliers that will cause headaches, when there is radio interference.
wifi is a dynamic system with every base station migrating bands for interference.

- tonymet 1y agoi agree, but you won't know until you test. ethernet results are extremely consistent across applications, assuming there isn't a bad cable. wifi can vary wildly by 10000 factor even in the same location on different days
