You know how we get 100+ping on USA servers

**SubNoize** · 09-02-2010, 11:56 AM

Well i read the least ammount of ping we could ever get is 100 because of the speed that data travels (speed of light or w/e) e.g. us having 100 ping but the americans would have 10-20

Buttt

would this still be the case if we put a server exactly halfway between aus and usa?

wouldn't we both just ping like 50-80ish ?? (which would be somewhat playable)

h0rdy · 09-02-2010, 12:00 PM

interesting idea acutally.. Would be cool if it worked.

MattCD · 09-02-2010, 12:01 PM

if it worked it would be good as

SHo · 09-02-2010, 12:02 PM

We talking Marshall Islands or French Polynesia?

PS Guam is where it's at.

ekM · 09-02-2010, 12:03 PM

Moar like between USA Europe and Aus, awwyeah..

SHo · 09-02-2010, 12:07 PM

Wouldn't work either way.

Routing etc.

SHo is right, Guam.

Can't tell you how I know this, but I do.

Ne0 · 09-02-2010, 12:28 PM

Well this is how we are connected to the USA atm anyway.

Southern Cross Cables Network

geNe. · 09-02-2010, 12:33 PM

No... You get 100+ ping from Routing. Light can travel aroudn the world 7 times a second.

From the London to new york stock exchanges connection it's 20 ping, and thats the ONLY example i have of a low ping long distance connection. They invested the line to buy and sell as quick as possible of course. You just need a lot of money to lay a direct line from here to there, and the only people who will do taht are the ones with enough $ to lose (stock markets).

Also, light bouncing off fibre optics (within the fibre optic tube) also slows it down a bit. Read in New Scientist that there's new technology coming out that minimises this.

**DrP3cker** · 09-02-2010, 12:49 PM

Setup a server in Hawaii then!

Orbit (old mate from CoveX) is living in China and he plays on Aussie servers at a ping around 120-150. He doesnt appear to lag much either.

So if thats possible surely there are other ways out there.

Salad Fingers · 09-02-2010, 12:50 PM

i get 300 ping to us servers

dannyGrim · 09-02-2010, 12:57 PM

When i was playing dod:s for a bit a few yrs ago our team (all being uni / unemployed late nite gamers) would sometimes play the yank dod teams, some of their teams would play us on our server with 100-130 ping most of us had 60-85 ping and it was pretty even i'd say But for the life of me i can't remember where they were based. dods a bit diff to css tho

Google were thinking of a west coast line(probably San Fran/San Jose to Syndey), but that was before everyone lost their house and livelihood.

yes and financial institutions locate themselves right next to a stock exchange to have Milli-second advantage.

Uhhh, how do the americans get 10-20 ping??? don't think so mate.

I think most people get 200+ ping to US servers?

Stoodley · 09-02-2010, 02:16 PM

ping/latency means distance and depending on how many routing hops you have to take to get to the server determines your ping. Would not work james sorry

take the .au out of the link in your sig from alienware, it just links to nothing :/

Feeble · 09-02-2010, 03:20 PM

We are only around 4-5 years from having playable connections to the US.

Unfortunately the actual street distribution is 3-4 years behind that...

Reedtz · 09-02-2010, 03:50 PM

wouldn't it also depend on location eg tas melb compared to the people higher up like qld its not a bigg diff but adds up cause my net is pretty fucked i get about 400 but still (from melb)

imagoodplayer · 09-02-2010, 03:50 PM

but u see no1 cares about vic or other states

48-2 etc

Flankdog · 09-02-2010, 04:04 PM

As long as tas.cfg still works then I think this is a good idea.

NashKeLL · 09-02-2010, 04:10 PM

50-80 (somewhat playable)

hahaha

fuck me.
