Ping issues in gaming

[Vaibhav tak]

I live in India. When i use mobile hotspot using Indian SIM card getting 20 mbps speed and try to play online games. I got

140ms is apex

115ms in pubg pc

But my friend using 6 mbps broadband connection and he is getting 60-70 ms in apex and 70 ms in pubg. 

I don't get it, can someone explain. 

1 more thing is 6 mbps connection is good enough for online gaming or i have to choose higher speed plan. 

Thanks

Speed does NOT equal ping.

The medium and other equipment used to get you from A to B does impact latency. Wireless is (in most cases) going to have worse latency/ping over a hardwired connection.

Most online games, excluding download time, don't use more than maybe 500Kbps so even a 6Mbps connection is plenty for just gaming.

But as you see i live in India and all most every game has no indian servers so i have to play on Singapore servers.

I'm not sure how that's relevant?

Ping does not relate to speed, at all. 4G is wireless tech and as such is much more susceptible to interference, delay, jitter, etc. which all impact latency and ping.

Ping is the time it takes to get from A to B and the more hops you have to go through the higher it will be (generally)

Speed is just how much data you can send/receive.

Now i get it. Thanks
