4Mbps for online teaching

[CeboKay]

Hey guys
I do online teaching and when I try connecting to the servers overseas, the ping/lag is way too high now in my area I can only get 4MBPS of ADSL, should I do it? Will it be able to lower my ping?. I’ve tried LTE but I keep failing the connectivity test...so if anybody has any suggestions, please please help out, Thank you!

Is there a place where one of us can test, I have a feeling you're not going to be able to fix it because while DSL might give you a better ping than LTE the real thing is the distance, if with fibre you're only really going to be able to shave off 40ms.

When I try connect to a server in Taiwan, on speednet my ping is about 450. So you saying my getting ADSL won’t teally do anything??

Ooh, you didn't mention that before lol. If it's international, you're always going to have high ping, even on fiber. Anything international is over 200ms usually, and Asia is frequently over 300ms in my experience. Fiber would be better, but still north of 200ms is my bet.

Hahah @Foxhound5366 they keep telling my to contact my ISP about the ping, and Telekom keeeos saying they can’t help me‍‍. And I can’t get fibre in my area, but looking into get 10mbos from webafrica

With fibre you could probably get it just about under 400ms but you're not getting it any lower than that.

To get lower pings to the East you need to find an ISP that uses the SEACOM cable as that tee's off at Somalia and docks in at Mumbia in India.
This could bring you into the 200 ms range as Telkom's DSL goes via the SAT3 cable and that docks at Southampton and your latency to the East would be in the region of 400 ms.

The problem with adsl is the upload speed that is usually 300-500 kbps, add the servers that are so far away and it is useless. When I do online training I use LTE.

Hi. Can you tell me how to go about doing online teaching. The websites etc. I'm a 3rd year university student. Any help would be appreciated.

Your best bet would be with an ISP that uses China Telecom Transit provider for a direct route to China.

So far I know Afrihost, Axxess, Webafrica, Websquad.

I don't think I have seen lower than this to Hong Kong.
