What is a good ping and Mbps?

Generally speaking, a ping rate that is less than 50ms is considered really good. It is an ideal ping rate for most online activities, even for competitive online gaming. If your ping rate is under 100ms, it’s still acceptable for many common online activities such as web browsing.

25 Mbps is a good standard for upload speeds, but if you are frequently sending data then consider a fiber-optic connection to increase your speed even more. Just like download speeds, you may also learn what your own upload speed is using Optimum’s speed test. Or test using our speed test widget below.

Ping amounts of 100 ms and below are average for most broadband connections. In gaming, any amounts below a ping of 20 ms are considered exceptional and “low ping,” amounts between 50 ms and 100 ms range from very good to average, while a ping of 150 ms or more is less desirable and deemed “high ping.”
