Fiber ISP Latencies.

Hi all

Recently/yesterday changed ISP's.

Very interesting is the immediate very obvious latency difference seen between the 2.

Other than ye we can subscribe to whatever speed we want, wonder if anyone know of a table showing or recording the avg latency, I'm sure the gaming guys will love to know this... and well it's a selling point or not for the ISP, depending on what type of customer they wanna target.

In todays world a lot of the game companies are going the route of using the big giants to host their games or they peer in London so when the likes of Amazon/Google/Microsoft is used ISP's don't really matter much. The big difference you see between local guys is some will use providers to send CT guys east coast instead of west coast which would cause higher latency.

You can get looking glasses for quite a few ISP's and test their latency via that. You can also get information online of which providers they using and then use looking glasses from those providers.
