Latency

[Jack_Black]

Latency Quality Table

Stars	Range (ms)	What It Feels Like
★☆☆☆☆	150 ms and above	Noticeable drag, like everything is moving through syrup. Fine for slow tasks, rough for anything interactive.
★★☆☆☆	80–150 ms	Usable but fuzzy. You tap, then the system taps back. Works for casual use, not ideal for rhythm or competition.
★★★☆☆	50–80 ms	Acceptable real-time behavior. Humans mostly treat this as smooth unless they’re picky or doing fast reflex work.
★★★★☆	25–50 ms	Snappy. Feels responsive in games, apps, cloud systems, and most networking situations. Your 48 ms sits right here.
★★★★★	Under 25 ms	Crisp enough that your brain stops noticing the mediator. This is where “it feels local” begins in many systems.

When I get to 10Gbps, I’ll be the fastest internet cafe this side of Nakuru.

112ms… which IPS is this? Starlink? Where is it pinging for the latency test?

Yes, it’s Starlink. I rent a business package from a reseller. This is a local ping, not for the public internet.

local ping… why is it that high? considering that almost all other ISPs you can get 8ms local and ~150ms to some areas in Europe.

EDIT:

On occassion that I meet other Kenyans online in games, our latency is usually less than 60ms on peer to peer.

It’s a shared connection.

I’m not playing on SA servers even with ping that good. EUW or gtfo.

You guys are the reason Guilty Gear Strive Africa servers are ALWAYS empty
