Latency on WISP

[Pox]

Hi all, anyone out there make use of jazznet or any of the other WISPs? I would like to know what kind of leatency I can expect. My number one use would be on the SGS games server :)

the normal latency on a good quality wireless link would be 5 - 30 ms. After that it depends on the path out of the WISP - i.e. whether it goes out on digi / satellite.

my main concern is local, high international ping doesn't bother me. Assuming the WISP uses ADSL for internet access then i would be looking at about 30-50ms (local to saix.net) plus wifi latency 30ms. So I'm looking at about 80ms. That is liveable :)

My buddy from hellkom.co.za used to have UniNet with a ping of +/- 7-13ms to the SGS CS:S Server.

That's running 512k adsl on a access point 8-10km away
