Understanding Internet Latency

14 Aug 2026 1 min read Arjun Mehta 615 views

When people talk about internet quality, they usually mean download speed — but for gaming, video calls and even fast browsing, latency (often called "ping") matters just as much, sometimes more.

Latency is the time it takes for a data packet to travel from your device to a server and back, measured in milliseconds (ms). A 500 Mbps connection with high latency can still feel laggy in a video call or online game.

Because Skymax runs on a local fiber-optic network with our own core routing infrastructure in Delhi NCR, most local latency stays under 5ms — well below what's noticeable for real-time applications, and far better than typical DSL or 4G/5G hotspot connections.
