When it finishes its test it'll tell you your ping. That's the ms latency to their server and a good indication of your lag for most servers. It should generally be about 40 for a good connection. Also, for online gaming, your download speed doesn't really matter but your upload speed does. If it's about 1Mb/s, you're doing just fine. At about .25, you might be seeing some issues.

Play any PC game on your PC, Mac or tablet, regardless of specifications. Seriously. - 23/09/2011 08:02:37 PM 844 Views
Just one question: is your connection 10MB/sec or 10mbps? - 23/09/2011 11:05:30 PM 473 Views
I'm guessing 10 mbps; 10 MB/s is like 120 mbps *NM* - 24/09/2011 07:57:58 AM 235 Views
80, but close. 1 byte = 8 bits. 10 megabytes = 80 megabits. *NM* - 24/09/2011 05:03:39 PM 189 Views
The bandwidth is not a big deal above a certain threshold. - 24/09/2011 05:10:41 PM 459 Views
So how do you measure or check your latency? *NM* - 24/09/2011 09:14:30 PM 187 Views

You're on the right track, but let me clarify a bit. - 30/09/2011 04:57:52 PM 402 Views
10mbps *NM* - 24/09/2011 05:53:05 PM 241 Views
Sweet. My school connection is just a little below that *NM* - 24/09/2011 09:15:19 PM 201 Views
I'm a elitist codger who hates change, so it makes me unhappy for no good reason. - 23/09/2011 11:05:54 PM 459 Views
What about using the free system? - 24/09/2011 05:55:09 PM 471 Views
I don't need it. I am sitting at a PC powerful enough to play any of these games with no hitches. - 24/09/2011 06:25:36 PM 408 Views
It could still be useful to you, though. - 30/09/2011 05:15:48 PM 475 Views
