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.

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. |

No. I say its fail. 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.  |
