Latency (also known as ping time) is a term used to describe how long it takes a “packet” of information sent from your computer to a server on the internet and back to your computer again. This measurement is vital to a network because it can significantly slow down your top speeds and severely affect services such as VOIP, Voice Chat, Online Gaming, Remote control computers, Virtual reality, Video Conferencing, etc. Satellite and cellular based internet typically has delays commonly in the range of 300-900ms while our fixed wireless internet service has average ping times typically under 30ms.
