Re: [Home Network] latency / lag on DSL vs. cable

I don't think I've ever seen a Comcast (the only cable company in the Bay Area) line that had latency as low as a decent DSL line. It's usually not even close, like 9-10ms vs well over 20ms.

I thought the pppoe overhead made dsl inherently slower. Good to know - thanks!

The data path affects latency; being on the Fast data path is ideal. Interleaved will add to latency. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum
