FAIL

My friend is in NZ. His ping rate is atleast 400ms at best. Can this speed up the latency it takes in the hops from NZ to Thailand, to japan, to hawaii, to US...to ... me? No.

I say its fail.

Yes.

Bigfoot has mastered time dilation, and given it to you on a $100 NIC.

ya you didn't know that it has a built in singularity thats linked to another singularity in their data center allowing for a bypass of bad routing.

Geographic latency is a different matter entirely.

This reminds me of when someone came on to DSLR saying that there was a way to hack their satellite connection to get pings similar to DSL/cable. Of course they refused to accept the possibilty that it was physically impossible seeing as how your data has to travel about 50,000 miles before it even hits the internet.

If you're not a golfer, the best clubs in the world won't helpyour game at all, but if you're already scratch, they might be what it takes to improve your game. Sometimes, a tiny improvement is the difference between winning and loosing.

In this case do you really think a change from 400ms to 395ms is really going to make a difference?

You're obviously not a gamer, but yes I think every 5ms improvement helps and for $100 why not?
