Latency
(i)
Latency is the round-trip time (in milliseconds) for a data packet to travel from your device to a server and back. For UK broadband, lower latency means a more responsive connection. For example: • **Fibre & 5G:** Excellent performance usually means latency below 30 ms. • **Cable:** Good performance is typically in the 30–50 ms range. • **Copper (DSL):** Often sees latencies between 50–100 ms, which can be noticeable during gaming or video calls. Latency above 100 ms may cause delays in real-time activities like online gaming or video conferencing.

Jitter
(i)
Jitter is the variation in latency over time—essentially, how consistent your connection speed is. Even if the average latency is low, high jitter can cause issues with data arriving out of order. For UK connections: • **Fibre & 5G:** Ideally keep jitter below 5 ms for smooth performance. • **Cable:** Jitter between 5–15 ms is usually acceptable, though occasional minor disruptions might occur. • **Copper or congested 4G:** Values above 15 ms can lead to buffering, choppy video, or unstable calls. A steady, low jitter is key for activities like streaming or VoIP, where consistency matters.
