Has anyone noticed the difference in ping times between cable and ADSL connections on the tests posted above?
When playing online games usually the lower the ping the better. The ping time helps identify the latency of your network connection - this is basically the time it takes for the data to get from you to where you sent it. This is not really relative to your download speed due to the way the network works.
This is not a problem if you play online poker but can make a big difference if you are playing a fast paced shooter or driving game etc. In my tests above I was pinging at 16ms, people on ADSL were getting between 60 and 100. When you pull that trigger you want those bullets flying asap
