Is this good, bad, or indifferant?

499786 2006-11-17 02:12:00 Well... It won't matter unless you play online games.

I play bzflag quite a bit, and the server I plays on automatically kicks you if your ping is above 300ms for a while.

I think this for fps games (but I only have bzflag to judge it on)...

< 100 - Good
100 -> 200 - Fine/Average
250 - Sorta when people start complaining about your lag
> 300 - bad

I think for a faster speed game, people might start complaining around 200ms?

Is this good, bad, or indifferant?Care to elaborate on that a bit? Your ping to or from anywhere else can be vital, or meaningless, depending on what you're measuring.

I've been playing with Speedtest.net
Ping of 220 was between Ak. and London.
Fron AK to Ak 1 get 110

One thing I notice is I can download from London and twice the speed as fron Sydney and Ak.
Suppose that is because the poms are all in bed.
