I have internet from Vectra cable TV and in the Speedtest program, the ping is over 200ms and sometimes it is 75ms, how should it be and is it bad or good?
Ping is the time it takes for your "packet" to reach the server. In various games where the game is played over the internet, ping should be as low as possible (max. 150). It depends on the internet and hardware you have. You can find more here ---> http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping
I net about 1.3 mb via WiFi and ping testpwy on dsl.cz about 66 ms it is important that the ping is relatively constant (differences in the test up to 50 ms ampitude)
You can't fix it because it depends on the internet ... In the subject you asked what PING is, it's best to imagine it like this: You chew the ball to the wall, but in order for it to bounce, PING is the time it takes for it to come back to you. PZDR
No, definitely not. Ping is just a little bullshit that shows you the speed at which you send data to another computer (just these packets), such as a server. Select Start-> run and enter "ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" there, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the pinged computer PZDR
People - read with understanding. You throw the ball and it bounces off the wall right? The time it takes to come back to you depends on the distance from this wall.
Release the ping to yourself, release the ping to some vectra server and let go even further - it will not come back ... It has little to do with your internet speed. There are many nodes on the way from you to the destination server, links of different speeds and probably some routers or intermediate servers - this slows down the flow of information. Do a TRACERT command to some server in the world and see where your query goes. Often, every request goes a different route ...
But I am asking if it is influenced by the length of the coaxial cable? because when they set up the internet for me, they had to pull the cable through the roof, i.e. from the bottom then up to the roof and from the roof down.
It shouldn't have an effect. If the cable has no short circuits or kinks and they fit within the maximum length, it should not matter. Don't look at the ping - it doesn't matter - Transfer is more important to you. Imagine a pipe with water flowing. \ the longer the pipe, the longer the water flows, but at a constant speed. it is important that the pipe has a large diameter, then more of it flows. In total, the speed of information flow, i.e. ping, does not matter to you too much - let's assume that the signal has ideal conditions - whether it is flying at the speed of sound or light - you will not notice the difference because at the beginning you are limited by the transfer. Have you checked the transfer? What do you have
Well, there are no short circuits and fractures, and if it fits in the maximum length, I do not know !!! I heard if the ping is too high, it is impossible to play any game over the internet is it true and how to check this transfer?
If the cable from the wall to the computer is longer than 4 meters, it is too much. It can be two or more. Then ping is ok. And you can play all the games. . .
Well, from the computer to the wall I have more than 4 meters, and to the cable TV box I have probably more than 50 meters from the computer to the box.
People, what difference does it matter how much cable is sticking out from the wall when there's a lot of cable in the wall too. The speed of the PING, that is this "BALL" depends on the transfer and the number of people who use computers in a given network (LOAD). The fact that you cannot play a game over the net, for example Counter Strike, depends on the load on the server you have set up and on all other paths through which this ball must pass.
Well, my coaxial cable from the modem (which I got when installing the Internet) flies through half of the room then goes to the wall and goes outside, i.e. out of the window. Then it flies up to the roof and down from the roof to the other side of the building, there is a tee that separates the internet and TV, and from the tee some 30m it flies along the wall and enters the cable TV box, so there is a lot of this cable !!!
NO AND ANOTHER TIME SOME PERSON WILL WRITE THAT IT DOESN'T MATTER AND GIVE YOURSELF PEACE WITH PING! Someone tells you nonsense and you get excited - you have a quick transfer, enjoy and you do not need ping for ANYTHING !!! Ping, just like sine, does not exist by itself and does not matter! Questions "I have one and you have what" is idiotic - it's like asking "my ball comes back to me after 3 seconds and yours after how many?" You don't read what we are writing or reading and you don't understand.
The discussion revolves around the user's experience with Vectra cable internet, specifically concerning high ping values observed during Speedtest, ranging from 75ms to over 200ms. Participants explain that ping measures the time it takes for data packets to travel to a server and back, with ideal values typically under 150ms for gaming. Factors influencing ping include internet load, hardware, and network routing rather than just the length of coaxial cables. While some suggest that longer cables could affect performance, others argue that as long as the cables are properly installed without damage, they should not significantly impact ping. The consensus is that while ping can affect online gaming, the overall data transfer speed is more critical for internet performance. Summary generated by the language model.
