Re: in the centrum of the payla



Well u r wrong the bandwidth has a major effect on your latency.

latency - The time that pass between the time u sent the ping until it
got back

my ping to the closest hop is now 25-30 when the line is clear (128 kb)
once it was 40-50 with 64 kb

at satellites any way the latency much bigger and if u want to surf its
much slower but if its for ftp its don't matter.
