I am in St. Louis and just switched from DSL to Charter Internet. The download and upload speeds are much improved (and a little better than advertised), but I notice my ping is running around 19 milliseconds when it was around 13 milliseconds on DSL.
I am curious what my expectation of ping performance should be with Spectrum 100/4 Internet?
I believe I notice the effects of ping when loading some websites when the browser needs to make a 100 or more requests to the server for many tiny elements to load a page. The speed of web page display for some sites is not as much improved as the download speeds would suggest, I think because of ping.
