Latency is how long it takes a packet to travel to it's desination and back (aka ping). Very important w/ twitchy video games.

I thought I would have scored better than that. I have Comcast.

I cheated...

That test was done from my work. We have dual OC-1 connections (~50Mb/s on a good day) in parallel on different ISPs. I'm going to run the benchmark later tonight when nobody is around and see what I can get. Our network has around 1500 users give or take, so it should be some improvement.

I just wonder what the max bandwidth is w/ the LA server I'm connecting too - I might be too fast to get an accurate benchmark from them.
