With a good 'net connection, a Barix cross country link (running UDP) can be
two seconds or less.
Think about it-a VOIP connection basically is streaming audio across the
Internet-and the latency is so low that two people can converse without any
problems.

High latency connections are the result of HTTP streaming, doe to the ACKs
being sent back and forth to make sure that 100% of the data has been
received.

Everyone talks about streaming being the end of terrestrial radio, "our
worst nightmare"!!! What would the delay be at the game listening to an
internet stream? I'm guessing at LEAST 15 seconds, to as much as 45...
