What is the Arc Client?

So what considered an "average" ping and latency scores?

DSL's been screwy lately, and it's supposedly fixed. So I'm trying to get a feel for the quality of my connection. Found the netgraph command, but don't really know what's considered a realistic average I can expect for my ping and latency.

    40-180 ms atm, though been rubber banding today and the day before yesterday slightly. Haven't a clue if it's their servers or a line to their servers, though another game near San Diego's running fine. Generally for fist person shooters 40-100 is fine, for most MMOs, 100-300 is fine. Anything over and you might run into a bit of trouble, though some people are used to playing at 500-800.

    I'm around 100 to 200 for the most time and I can play fluently.

    Great. I'm literally bouncing from 50-160 on this and CoX so it appears I'm in the ballpark of average or normal. I'll have to tickle my graphics settings a bit more for the framerates I'm not quite happy with.
