Re: Questions about a popular speed test- Ping, and ranking, etc
said by juking  : what should my approximate ping be? depends on 1) available bandwidth, 2) traffic on local network, 3) traffic on backbone network, 4) load on destination server/router, and 5) network topology (distance)..
ping times could be anywhere from 1ms to 500ms plus.. there truly is no average or approximate ping - it all depends on the above network conditions..
for example, using the above site on my 8800/768 connection I can get a 50ms ping from a server located 1000 miles away while getting a 90ms ping from a server located 100 miles away - all depends on the network load at the time of the test..
