hey guys i have one question

[Camillawyy]

someone people can tell me.if i want to play eu games,i buy vpn how many ping?

 

[profeet]

depends on your pong?

 

[Camillawyy]

now i play eu games ping 220,but i need 100 ping

 

[Camillawyy]

have you got any good solutions to the problem?

 

[profeet]

move closer to the server?

 

[Camillawyy]

server in holland. so i need vpn

 

[profeet]

marry yourself into holland?

 

[Rickster]

Having a VPN wont make your ping better.


It would be 220 untill you move close to the server, what game is this?

League of Legends

that is funny

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

A woodchuck would chuck as much as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

No way, unless they release SA servers.

There is this thing called the laws of physics, there is nothing faster than the speed of light and your data propagation will never exceed that speed, considering the distance involved you are schite out of luck expecting a 100ms ping to europe, if you want a 100ms pig then move to europe.

Or he could play DotA not the current trash he is playing.

Distance from SA to Europe: 9500km
Speed of light: 299792 km/s
9500/299792 = 32ms

Distance from SA to Europe: 9500km
Speed of light: 299792 km/s
9500/299792 = 32ms

You would need to double that figure at least, Ping is a round trip measure. Is that 9500km the actual distance via the undersea cables?

Only if you expect data back. In this case it's the response from server to client or client to server. I presume the 100 he is looking for is actually a 200 round trip. The 32ms was in response to the comment that physics is the limiting factor under ideal conditions. 9500km is the distance from SA to Poland btw.

Ja, but you are forgetting the switching time in the huge amount of microelectronic circuitry in the system. Gate arrays and switches have their own latency, and millions of them between the Dutch server and our SA user's system mean it's going to be slower than just the speed of electromagnetic propagation.

He can bring this down to the early 100s by using a better telecommunications system. Whether we have one between SA and Holland I do not know, but if there is one it will certainly cost very much more than the mass internet service he currently buys - maybe R10k-R20k a month...

No I'm not forgetting that and that's precisely the point. The delay isn't in physics but poor network infrastructure. A good first tier network with minimal hops can reduce the round trip ping to ~100ms. Try to find one in SA though...
