answer:I’m pretty sure your ping time mostly has to do with your internet connection. E.g., pinging my backup server in Utah over a vpn connection gets me 52.367ms replies, but pinging the router on my network (via a wired connection) gets me 0.340ms replies. “Normalizing” that to get rid of my network gets those ping times down gets me about 52ms of round trip internet lag (including encryption times). From this computer, which is wirelessly connected, I get a 2.5ms ping time to my router. This would seem to suggest that if you’re trying to game via wifi, you’re already 2.5ms in the hole, if you want that time back run a wire across your house =) So, really… I wouldn’t worry about it.
