So basically my latency in milliseconds is roughly half my ping, since pinging is actually the length of time it takes to give out information and receive it from another computer? Also, since I'm sure I'm not the only one that was confused on this, Sai should put this on the front page, as well as perhaps a site that rates your actual latency and not just ping.
I guess you can say that it's half, but it's not really measured like that and when you say latency, you say the latancy (lag) between two points. If you want to know how much of it "is your fault" then you ping your gateway IP. Getting your gateway IP can be more difficult. Usually, but not always, your Gateway IP is the your External IP address with the last number changed to .1
For example, if your IP is 123.123.123.123, then your internet Gateway
normally is 123.123.123.1 though it's not always the case. Pinging that will give you the latency between your computer and your connection to your ISP. After that, it's really out of your hands.
If you're behind a router, you could ping your router. A router is always a Gateway and if your router gives you 192.168.0.100 then usually your Gateway IP is 192.168.0.1, but please note this is your Internal IP, not the IP on the internet. Your router has it's own IP other than 192.168.0.1
I know, I know. It's confusing. I'll think of a way to clarify this but I hope you can gain SOME understanding.
