Re: [General] voip.ms Ping vs. routing

said by minoe:

Just looking for general advice on choosing a voip.ms server to use.
Is it better to have a) lower ping time, or b) fewer hops in the routing?

Up until now, I've been using the Atlanta server, which has a ping of about 42 ms over 11 hops.

I'm thinking of giving the Toronto or Montreal servers another shot, now that there has been some improvements made (?).

My ping to the Toronto servers are around 15ms but over 10 hops.
My ping to the Montreal servers are around 25ms but over 8 hops.

Any general advice about ping vs. hops or does any of it really mater for overall voice quality?

If the atlanta server is working for you, stick with it. You will not notice a few extra milliseconds or 2 less hops.

I am currently using the houston server even though there are 2 servers that are much closer to me. However, I have had less reliability with both of those servers than the houston server.

Likewise. I'm in the Bay Area and use Houston. Seattle & LA have been less reliable. My ping to Houston is only around 50ms, and I get 0-3ms jitter.
