bullet players what is your avg ping?

131 right now, usually 400-600, sometimes over 1,000.

When it's 1-3 thousand ms, please don't talk to me about "lag compensation".
At the moment, 245 ms. But my Internet speed is very unstable and it varies immensely...

Click on your name in the top-right corner of the page, then look at "PING" under "Sign out".
Ping is the time taken for a packet to reach its destination and have confirmation sent back...

The guy asking how to lower ping... well a reliable high speed connection will not lose too many packets, and can handle sending and recieving more packets but the time taken is affected by location too.

I am guessing Lichess server is in Amsterdam, those nearer should have a shorter ping than those further away (all things being equal)

It still doesn't cure my issue though, I have a fairly low ping but premoves still taking too long. I either need to think quicker or paly longer games.
