What is a high latency?

Typically, anything at 100ms is acceptable for gaming. However, the 20ms to 40ms range is considered optimal. So simply put, low latency is good for online gamers while high latency can present obstacles.

A good latency is a ping rate of below 150 milliseconds . 20ms is considered to be great.

When delays in transmission are small, it’s referred to as a low-latency network (desirable) and longer delays are called a high-latency network (not so desirable). Long delays that occur in high-latency networks create bottlenecks in communication.

A low latency network connection is one that generally experiences small delay times, while a high latency connection generally suffers from long delays . Latency is also referred to as a ping rate and typically measured in milliseconds (ms).26 Oca 2015
