Damn, I live in Chicago, and I dont ping that well to USW, and I barely ping that well in USE.

That's crazy. Is it even physically possible to get 42ms from Poland to USW?

Distance from Warsaw, Poland to San Francisco: 9400km
Speed of light: 299 792 458 m / s

Time = 0,031s = 31ms

Did this way too quickly, but it seems correct. I can't believe it's possible for your ping to be that low.

Canadian internet: take the ping you *should* have to any given server, add 100, WHAM ez math there is what ping you actually get.

Are you checking using the console or -ping?
They give different values, I believe

I leave net_graph 1 up. I'm aware there is usually a ~40 ping difference between what "-ping" in chat says and what net_graph/console says.

"-ping" in chat is still an important tool for subtly implying that my misplays were not in fact my fault but were rather caused by inexplicable lag that I don't actually have (although I always ping 140+).

Lucky you. Guess which server i ping the best(15-25ms)? The answer isn't pleasant for Nordics.

Latency is there and back. So you have to double distance. It's really not possible what he's saying I think unless I've done something completely wrong. Not to mention you have to factor in it's not all straight lines and then other factors

Yeah there is definitely something wrong with the measurement there, especially when you consider that the light is not traveling through a vacuum. Fiber optic cables have an index of refraction of around 1.5, according to Wikipedia, so the speed of light in the cables is 3e8/1.5 = 2e8. So really it takes 9400e3/2e8 = 46 ms for information to travel from Warsaw to San Francisco in ideal situations. I'm probably overlooking a lot of things though

E: According to dev forums the USW server is located in Seattle but it is pretty much the same distance
I ping 16 to USE and I think ~90 to EUW. I live in New York

Maybe he just points his Ethernet cable more accurately towards the west coast. Cut down on those lags!

-ping is inaccurate. what it shows in netgraph and console is more realistic. dota2 server arent the best.

I think he's not telling us that his ethernet cables are filled with actual aether
Or maybe the cables are actually self-contained vacuums
Or he dug a straight line between his house and the server through the center of the earth to reduce the distance

Or there is an explanation that actually makes sense
If there is I'm definitely not one to provide it
