Ever clicked a button, sent a file, or jumped into a video call, only to be met with that frustrating delay? That’s latency—the time it takes for your action to get a response from the internet. And trust us, in today’s fast-paced digital world, those milliseconds can make or break your experience.
What Exactly is Latency?
Latency is the delay between when you perform an action—like clicking your mouse, typing a command, or sending a video stream—and when the system responds. Think of it as the time it takes for your internet to “think” before acting. High latency feels like lag, stuttering, or awkward pauses, while low latency means near-instant reactions that keep you in the flow.
Why <10ms Latency Changes Everything
Whether you’re fragging opponents in an FPS, collaborating on a Zoom call, or streaming your latest masterpiece, latency impacts your performance and productivity.
When latency creeps above 10ms, you’ll notice delays that disrupt gameplay, cause buffering in streams, or make video calls feel clunky and out of sync.
Low latency = instant reactions. High latency = frustration. Xiber’s <10ms latency enables true real-time responsiveness across all devices.
