Ping and Jitter Explained

Ping measures response time. Jitter measures how stable that response time is.

Ping

Ping is the time it takes for a small request to reach a server and return to your device. Lower ping is better.

Jitter is the variation between ping samples. Lower jitter means a more stable connection.

Why it matters

Gaming, video meetings and voice calls need low ping and low jitter more than very high download speed.
