Set up your PC in the office that hosts the ping test server. :P

I was wondering how you achieve 0 ping and if there is a wireless network adaptor that is really good.

Ping your local machine and you will get 0 ms ping. Otherwise it isn't possible.

maybe if we all have 10gbps internet.

What do you mean by ping your local machine?

It doesn't matter how fast your connection is. The distance is everything.

To RGB, or not to RGB? That is the question.

There is always latency. Ping your own router's IP address. It'll show you <1 ping.

0 is physically impossible. There are good wireless adapters, both on USB and PCIe. Which do you need?

It's a joke. 127.0.0.1 is the loopback IP address for the Windows machine you're using. So if you type in Ping 127.0.0.1 -t you'll get the <1ms ping as result. Effectively you'd be pinging yourself.

 

(Probably not a Windows-only thing. But I don't actually know.)

It also depends on the ISP

Nothing will grantee you 5ms of ping, especially if you are measuring your LAN + WAN ping, but assuming you are only covering a short distance and you don't have too much interference then you will get close to this with most adapters.

Yes, it's 2871 as in the year 2871. I traveled all this way, back in time, just to help you. And you thought your mama lied when she said you were special. -_-

You're not listening to anyone. 5ms ping to any game server is a tall order even with direct fiber connection. That's a fine Wi-Fi adapter. You'll also need a fine Wi-Fi accesspoint. And even then it all comes down to your ISP. You're probably not listening to me either so why not just go ahead and buy that one. If on the other hand you can hear a word of reason, run a test with Ethernet first. Wi-Fi is always going to be a bottleneck. At best it can be as good as Ethernet but never better. So if you get poor results with Ethernet, you'd only be wasting your money on the Wi-Fi. It can only make things worse.

i beg the differ, have had multiple 0ms ping readings (using different servers). optic fibre connections are really fast in my country. i mean its not true 0ms ping but its either rounded down to that or too fast to measure correctly lol.

Ping is determined from your distance in correlation to the service you're trying to connect to. While you could achieve it over a LAN game, if you use Ethernet, and bandwidth isn't a bottleneck... You would most likely not see a 0ms ping when accessing anything outside your home. At the office we have Comcast Metro-E, and the first hop outside the building is 2ms. The lowest ping we've been able to achieve is to a datacenter nearby, and that's 5ms... for something less than 50 miles away. The route will affect it, but there is nothing that would guarantee a low ping. If you're looking for a stable ping, perhaps you'd be looking to hardwire your computer to your router, and have FTTH?

i know, but even wired 0ms ping is impossible. thats the joke. if i ping my own router i get 1ms ping in cmd.exe but speedtest.net says i have 0ms ping to a server several kilometers away.
