I hope you realize that unless Blizzard manage to increase the light speed, you will never get a ping below 100ms from KR to NA ...

Not really...
It is 8000-something kilometers from Seoul to Seattle.
That is 27ms at light speed.
100ms isn't really the max limit.

did you know in bw we had lan latency? on iccup which had europeans/koreans and we could play each other and not lag? :O

West coast NA (vancouver, BC) > TW there is no noticeable difference.
East coast NA (NYC, NY) > TW there is a noticable (~0.7-8 second) delay in all commands.

That's my latency(200) on american servers(the ones I'm actually meant to play) ^^. Hooray to brazilian internet. When I play Protoss against AI I tell my probes to do stuff before they laiy down the building they were supposed to ._. .
|
Traceroute to kr.logon.battle.net is probably the best way to get a good idea of how much latency you can expect. I get around 220ms from the east coast (VA) on a fast connection, and don't really have any problems with lag spikes.
At 220ms, it's very playable, but there's enough lag to notice the difference with stuff like forcefields and blink micro. You just have to get used to it and play a little predictively.
|
234ms is going to be painful, west coast US has very low lag to KR, but pretty the further you go east, the higher the latency.
If you can get a good tunnel then you can get lower lag..

If you have done this and it has worked out for you can you post a speedtest so I can compare our speeds. I want to get on the Korean server but I have no way to know how bad the latency will be and if it will be worth it. I go to Georgia Tech so I have pretty damn good internet but I am still not sure if it will be enough. Also, do any pros that live in NA play on the Korean server? Thanks in advance. Also if this should be in blogs or something just let me know and I will fix it or if a mod wants to please do. Here is a link to an average speedtest for me. ![[image loading]](http://www.speedtest.net/result/1503487316.png) ^ This is to a server in Atlanta, I am running through a router which has been slowing it down, also upload is capped D: ![[image loading]](http://www.speedtest.net/result/1503490701.png) ^ This is to a server in Seoul. I am really worried about that ping... ![[image loading]](http://www.speedtest.net/result/1473406072.png) ^ Not going to lie, this one is just for nerd-cred. But with out the router I am able to get speeds like this (although not always the upload as this was a special circumstance). So, TL, what do you think? Could I play on KR without too many problems? Post your stories about playing on KR.
If you're plugged in at tech you should be fine. We have ridiculous internet.

I play on the KR server all the time with this, and have never had an issue. I have koreans lag out on me, while never once having lagged myself.

Yeah west coast NA should have little to no lag whatsoever. Lag should only be noticeable east of chicago, because I know central players whom play on KR with very little or non-existant lag too.
|
Pretty sure your "better" internet nowadays just makes you carry more data around and not actually make the speed improve.
So unless the internet can move at the speed of light(what are they now on ideal/impossible conditions? like 2/3rd?) then asia<-->america will always be substandard.
|
I will get a 150ms from West coast NA to KR. Now I wanna go find a KR account so I can actually play some real games of sc in KR bronze lolololol.
|
I wont even talk about how "college" bandwidth is anything to brag, or why speed isnt related to the open bandwith, more than location and availability of the host.
To be honest, i dont believe you have in any situation where your 300mb/s was put in full use acquire a faster download than me, a 20mb/s connection assuming all things non torrent related.

234 MS isn't really noticable lag. Median human reaction time to stimuli is about 214 MS. Some peoples reaction time is very slightly less than that, but by and large it's about the same as most people on the planet.

Uh what? you realize that you actually have to make some actions after reacting to something right?

lol grats on eating 2-3 siege tank shots.

The latency should be playable. Try doing anything from Australia, we have that latency to just about any location 
|
This is not much don't worry it will totally be playable.
|
Played from Clemson with much worse internet. It's not optimal but its still not absolutely terrible.
The only thing frustrating not being able to use FF properly or banelings in zvz.
|
does someone know how the average latency from EU ( Germany ) to KR is?
