I disagree. I would notice the difference. I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this one.
On some Internet activities you won't notice a difference, but IMO, higher latency is very noticeable during web surfing (momentary delays when clicking on links), online gaming, and especially on VOIP calls (I use OOMA for my home phone). I'm getting under 10 ms with Spectrum. The 30 ms latency you get from cellular Internet is on top of (in addition to) the point to point latency one would normally see on a wired or fiber connection. This is why you are seeing 50-60 ms latency on T-Mobile 5g, which is very high IMO. I would also be concerned about throttling and even higher latency during congested cell tower use periods. If you are OK with this to save $20/mo, it is your choice.
High latency is one of the reasons that I have rejected using satellite Internet at my country/vacation house. Latency is so high (>600 ms) that VOIP services can not be used and web surfing is frustrating.
Its $25 a month (and actual over $30 a money of income after taxes) for something I can not tell a difference so it would work for me and many others.
Its ok to disagree! No one product is right for everyone or the whole world would be out of business!
I will never see a difference between my latency on Spectrum of 20 to 30 ms and TMobile of 50 to 60 ms. Keep in mind TMobile home internet not available where I live right now and assume signal will improve once it is as my 5g TMobile test was only 2 bars..
We dont game online and being on BITOG, email, shopping surfing, my wife's workstation which is a VPN to her office in another state anyway.
The key here is we dont game.
Oops = actually just did a Spectrum test again, Ping 16MS Jitter 6
Restarting my phone to do a 5g TMobile test now...
TMobile seems to somehow block testing speed on my cell phone, I noticed I can not run the test with the same test site. I just did a test on my Tmobile phone using google fiber test site. Ping was 72ms.
Again, keep in mind my t=moible signal is low at 2 bars. Speed was only 50
Update on TMobile ping = did a few more tests in a roundabout way, png of 72 was the worst but none better than 50.
Speeds all over the place from a high of 70Mbps to a low of 20.
Just a reminder 5g home internet not available at my home yet, I assume things will improve if it ever is. I can actually see the tower when driving outside my community, not many antennas on it yet and none pointing my direction *LOL* YET! They seem to shoot down the interstate both directions and most likely why Verizon home internet not available YET either. Most all cell carriers use the same towers installed by a third party.
What is a good ping on a speed test result? We'll tell you good ping rate for different purposes. Read now to know the importance of ping & how to improve it!
