In a network, latency, a synonym for delay , is an expression of how much time it takes for a packet of data to get from one designated point to another.

Nope, Connection speed shares when some computer is receiving or sending something. Like opening a website is Receiving and sending an e-mail is... sending.

response time is the elapsed time between when the user hits the enter button to submit data or a query to the system, and when the system replies.  The lower the better.  Back in the bad old days of mainframe systems, a few seconds was considered good.  Now, with desktop systems tied to a lan and a network of servers,  users expect response times of less than a second.

Your login has a time limit. Usually it is for inactivity.

Does it do it all the time?\n\nIf you only had that happen for one day, it could be because of more people online at the same time as you, which causes latency. Another option could be because of some type of router you might use, or modem.\n\nAnother reason could be because the server is lagging for everyone as well or from maintenance on your ISPs servers.\n\nThere are a number of reasons but those are the most common.

it's all depend on you computer configuration, your connection.\nif you have a fast cpu or even dual core with lots of RAM, you can be multi tasking

That sounds like a DSL speed which should not be dependent on other users in your area unlike cable. The internet is busier on nights and weekends so just slower in general depending on which sites you visit.

Not bad. When playing games for instance, a possible opponent can see your ping rate and decide if your connection is too slow for them to enjoy the game.

yes. queued and waiting on busy hosts means that the server is down for that song. but its not a problem usually cause they give you links to about 80 others of that same song. for me it doesnt take forever, like a minute ir so. and when it says 'needs more sources' or 'cannot find server' you cant get that link to the song. but again, you can click on one of the other 80million links to it.

it basically means that you have low inabitions that are taking time to progress.

Near miss means that it missed you, but it was still very near. Hence, near miss. Think location. When you say "near hit" you are thinking of an "almost hit", which is a matter of degree, not location.

It could be the time delay of looking at a question, then typing it, and in that time someone else hase typed faset\n\nor they could just be after the two points

A "packet" is simply a small chunk of data that is sent in one go - so larger files are chopped up into lots of little packets first.\n\nUDP is a low-level protocol, which combines with IP to provide an Internet transport method - hence UDP/IP, which is used in place of TCP/IP where some packet loss is acceptable and a low latency delivery is more important - e.g. for a live video stream, users may wish it to stay live, rather than gaining an increasing time delay, if a few frames are dropped along the way, and once later frames have been displayed, earlier ones are useless anyway.

its either that you have a slow internet connection, a slow bandwidth speed, or its just simply all in ur luck...wait, that doesn't make sense...
