2020 Internet Latency Benchmark Report

April 19, 2021

NetForecast’s groundbreaking Internet Latency Benchmark Report draws on end-to-end test data to produce a score that uniquely incorporates the contribution of latency and loss into a single latency/loss score that is sensitive to deviations from normal. High latency and loss are important because they slow application response times for end users, but their influence on users’ quality of experience is often overshadowed by attention to network speed.

Our “user’s eye” performance benchmark incorporates three key factors: latency, latency consistency, and near/far latency bias. The report, which will be updated quarterly, covers the period from March through December of 2020.
