Throtteling vs Ping

[shooter69]

How does Throttling of your bandwidth effect your latency(ping)? Does it effect it at all?:wtf:

 

[McGuywer]

No it should not.

Throttling is per protocol.

Ping uses the ICMP protocol, normally that would not be throttled or shaped.

 

[Sinbad]

No
Throttling is dropping your total available bandwidth.

It should not affect round-trip times unless you are transferring at near your speed limit and traffic has to queue.

so lets see if I get this right using my scenario as an example :

If I have mtn lite 3gig uncapped. With my 3gigs I have a ping of say 200 when playing a game online. Will this drop when my 3gigs is finished and I get throttled to 256kb?

If not, then in theory Throttling wont have any effect on gaming right?

 

[Sinbad]

Depends whether you are using anywhere close to 256kb/s of bandwidth.

Then again, you're talking MTN so all bets are off.
