Question

why does latency never drop below 9ms like game ping and Apple Pencil delay?

In: Technology

Answer 1

It does, try being on a vessel in some ocean that uses internet via satellite that routes through a country 3 doors down. Ping 1s easy.

Answer 2

Ping on a wired network can be less than 1ms

9ms ping is pretty good latency.
As an example of other places we experience 9ms of latency, it is the time needed for sound to travel 3 metres.
