Why latency is so important?

A player with a high-latency internet connection might show slow responses despite quick reaction time. As a result, players with low-latency connections have tactical advantages over other players, as they are able to respond in-game closer to real time . Lag is detectable from as little as 30 milliseconds in gaming.

Why is 5G running slower than 4G?

So, why are some 5G connections so slow? The first, and most impactful, reason is that the far-reaching 5G signals that have powered the vast majority of carrier rollouts in the US – especially from AT&T and, to a lesser extent, T-Mobile – have used low-band carrier frequencies.

Does 5G decrease latency?

Verizon has reported that their 5G network achieves a latency of lower than 30 ms , which is an improvement of around 23 ms compared to the existing 4G network which takes over 53 ms. … Low latency is important for a wide range of applications today. In many cases, this would hold more importance than a higher data rate.14 Eki 2020
