latency
If I'm hosting an app in NY, what kind of delay can I expect for a user to get a single packet if they're in Australia, i.e. roughly the maximum distance from NY?
I'm looking for the maximum latency I'm likely to encounter on a regular basis -- if Australia's not the right destination point to consider, feel free to substitute another point.
Thanks!
