Latency runs 31 mS to 70 mS in the speedtests shown. I don't buy their claims that you can game with >100 mS latency, that is not a good experience.

This is a great step forward for internet accessibility but I really wish they wouldn't oversell the capabilities before we're there.



As someone who lives in the middle of the ocean with ~70ms to the nearest major data center, you get used to it.

You’re at a disadvantage to people with low ping, but it’s certainly not unplayable.


It really depends on the game. I would say 70-100ms is the upper acceptable limit for FPSs (though some like CS:GO or Valorant require even lower), but even like 150-250ms is okay for casual MOBA play.
