3. China Ping Latency Test
Average Latency by Carrier
| Carrier | Average Latency |
|---|---|
| China Telecom | 215ms |
| China Unicom | 223ms |
| China Mobile | 245ms |
National Average:
228ms
Analysis
Based on the latency results:
- China Telecom performs best

The impact is minimal.
If ultra-low latency is required for gaming or remote desktop applications, a Los Angeles CN2 GIA VPS would be a better choice.
