What my ping will be with 12mb speed?

[Leopardos]

Hello,

I live in the middle east, and playing in europe servers, games like BF3 , Quake live and much more

my ping in servers located in germany 65-70ms with 2.5Mb/250Kb internet speed,
Im going to upgrade my internet next week to 12MB/1000Kb ...
Will i get 40-50 ping ? or something else? same ISP ... (notice that the upload will be x4 the speed i have now) i heard its the major speed that will decrease the ping ..

Thanks

doesn't work that way. some technologies are slower than others. like vdsl has buffering built in that guarantees 7-14ms of latency.

typically the service level when not busy will remain the same with the same provider.

So .. i have to expect the same ping or 5-10 MAX difference , right ?:X

No he is saying the speed doesn't indicate "ping times." IE a 12Mbps connection could have a ping of 50ms or 2000ms depending on the tech and route to hosts.

Take satellite for example, you can get a 2mb connection but latency will be close to 1000ms, while the same 2mb connection on cable/dsl could be 50ms. And you have to take the network path into consideration

You "could" see a drop in latency because your upload is so slow there is some serialization delay. For example, 256k take 8 ms to put a 256 byte packet on the wire. 1000kbs would be 2ms for a reduction of 6ms.

But as others said "it depends" and the service, routing, any congestion along the way. You'll likely see a small decrease, but not much.

Simply put, there is not necessarily a direct correlation between bandwidth and latency.

Actually there is with lower speed links, there's a measurable time for serialization delay (actually put the packet on the wire, to serialize it). Above 1-2 Mbs that delay is brought to under 1-2 ms so it's no longer a part of the overall delay.

The put even more simply, do you have an alternative?

If you have, the it can be discussed, otherwise what does it matter.

You can run this free program and see where the delays are generated.

3DTrace - http://www.d3tr.de/index.html

This is an example of a trace.

Why would you download that when you can just use cmd.exe?

Because it has more features and might be easier to use for some people? CLI programs aren't very friendly to people who aren't used to them.

Ok , Thanks for the information.. i will be upgrading in 2 days..

And about the program ... tracert is enough ...

The thing is that i try tracert to check if i have the France gateway to europe ...
with my ISP there is two points in europe , france which is fast ... and UK which is slow ..
i keep turning on and off my router till i get the Fr one , i hope the same thing will be with the new internet ...
