Click on Run then type "ping <the site>" and enter. You will see the ping time from the DOS menu.

Please post your time here as well as your ISP. Thx.

Warcraft 3 for example has a small delay.
FPS games are ofcourse unplayable, they require a 200ms max ping.

Aha. But how can you play online from the PC? Are the CD Keys you type for the PC games valid for online play or you buy original games?

For some reason I was getting 200ms latency with Terranet today in the morning.
However now I am back to 400ms average latency :S.
200ms was amazing , i was able to play FPS games without any problems at all.

I need to ask a small favor:
Can you guys ping google for me and report back with your latency. I am talking about people who are from Lebanon ofcourse .


This is mine:

Freedom4ever: you are getting better pings than me, my average is 460ms.
(I wish I knew terra had such poor latencies)

Are you trying to get a connetion speed by pinging google?

your connection speed is the last mile between the operator DSLam and you !!!

What has google to do in here?
