Latency by Connection Type
Theoretical latency comparison for different network mediums
| Type | Speed | Theory | Real | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fiber | ~200k km/s | 5ms/1000km | 10ms/1000km | Long-distance |
| Copper | ~200k km/s | 5ms/1000km | 10ms/1000km | Short-medium |
| 5G | ~200k km/s | 5ms/1000km | 10-15ms/1000km | Mobile |
| Satellite | ~300k km/s | ~119ms | ~600ms RTT | Remote |
Note: Real-world latency is typically 1.5-3x theoretical minimums due to routing paths (signals don't travel in straight lines), router/switch processing delays, packet queuing, and protocol overhead. Data based on actual measurements from global network monitoring.
