Simple question. If you'd like to post your location/ISP as well that would be great.

I just wanted to get an idea (and perhaps provide others) with an idea of how competitive their interruption/infuses could be, and whether or not they should just give up =P. (This comes after i noticed in RA, how much of a difference 100 ping makes, 200ping =interrupt 1 sec, 300=

, whilst playing Pd).

ps, Poll would be GREAT.
eg: whats your average latency?
0-50ms
50-100ms etc etc.

edit: summary- (This data is very subjective, and the following is just an interpretation. if you feel you want to express a different interpretation, pm me?)
lowwest 5 - 15 = Nevin

Highest...hard to say, due to lag spikes but the competitors are:
700 - 1.4k on from satellite
1k-4k from unidentified college computers
and 15k -20k in the uk oO.

mean? ~ 200-500?

Seems aussies range between 100 and 600
Europeans, 50 - 350 (although horace has had 20ms pings before)
Americans, not enough data =/

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

200-600 some days are better than others, and some maps too.

I've had more than a few AB matches with a ping rate of 800 for the duration.

Welcome to the wonderful world of satellite internet

! I sure wish there was another option out here, besides dial up (though for things like this, dial up would actually run faster).

In the 1000s when I was on dial-up
500-700 on wireless
300-500 wired
And I hardly lag *only when it gets to the 2000s which is very rare* and people have less ping then me and lag all the time... weird.

I'm on east coast, and get around 250. A bit too high for me to consider serious PvP, thus I PvP casually and PvE mostly.

I get better latency on Euro Servers depending on time of day. It would be nice if there were an Eastcoast server farm. . . maybe in GW2.

Generally, broad range is usually between 60-200, normal average is prob 90-150. This is on wired ether, though I recall my wifi being around the same, maybe a bit higher; don't know if my wireless being .11a (and only being about 10' from the router) would account for this.

Of course, week-ends (and festival w/e's especially) can seriously impact this.
