Is low latency quality good?

Low latency means there is a very short delay between the time something happens and when the viewer sees it. This is especially important for highly interactive streams, such as eSports or live performances .

Low latency describes a computer network that is optimized to process a very high volume of data messages with minimal delay (latency). These networks are designed to support operations that require near real-time access to rapidly changing data.

If you have an internet connection with high latency, but fast throughput speeds, then playback quality will have less of an effect on the read-ahead buffer .
