HI,
Recently someone mentioned the latency issues with this service. So I
asked a Sprint technician today and found out that 80 ms .. 200 ms would
be typical ping times. For comparison - it takes me up to 70 ms to ping
sites on the east coast through our T-1 at work (west coast is really
fast).
Since I can't get DSL I had ordered the service and based on
measurements our house gets a decent enough signal. So once the snow is
off our roof I will let you all know what performance I observe.
This may actually be the end of dial-up service for me - after 16 years
of modem use (first BBS, the last 6 years with direct Internet access) I
am ready for a change!
