Basically, the lower the number the better. Its how quickly a data request is responded to. Lots of things can affect it, including the route your request takes to get to the destination server. High pings can affect things like online gaming and media streaming.

This is our office connection, not bad but shared with 350 users and the website is also hosted on this connection.



We had this connection installed in 2001, and its running at its max capacity. The line is a dedicated leased line, so will cost mega dosh to upgrade.
