Why Distance Matters
Physics of Latency
- • Light travels at ~300,000 km/s in vacuum
- • Fiber optic cables: ~200,000 km/s (67% of light speed)
- • Round-trip adds 2x the distance
- • Each 1,000km adds ~10ms latency
- • Physics cannot be optimized away
User Experience Impact
- • 0-10ms: Imperceptible to users
- • 10-50ms: Noticeable in real-time apps
- • 50-100ms: Impacts interactivity
- • 100-300ms: Users notice delays
- • 300ms+: Significantly poor experience
