ping to USA 10years ago = 200-300ms

current ping to USA = still 200-300ms. KEK

100mbps useless if ping time is junk.

our online content are not big enough to catch up internet speed yet, 100mbps is kinda excessive for the time being. How often we use 100mbps to the fullest? every 2 and half hours we download 100gb?

IMO 10mbps @ 30ms > 100mbps 300ms.

it is not the cable that is causing the problem, it is the devices in between them. and Because no R&D has put in improving the switching device latency

it has nothing todo with the geographical limitation, our fiber cable line are fast enough. What slow us down is the switching/ routing devices in between them.

There are not much effort in improvement this area. Our internet can continue to go 1gbps or even 100gbps but the real problem that does not make internet feel fast is the ping time. Gaming, live trading even live chat all these use ping time. May be pretty soon VR too.

300ms may not seems much, but it is actually alot it can add up due to packet travel back and fort.The user experience can be sometimes 1-2 sec delay
