Frequently Asked Questions

Which relay station has the lowest latency from China?

N1N measured at 162ms in my last test. Latency varies by region and time of day.

Does latency matter for LLM API calls?

For interactive use (chatbots, IDEs), sub-500ms p50 matters. For batch processing, throughput (tokens/sec) matters more than latency.

How often is this ranking updated?

Every 30 days via automated re-scoring. Latency from live monitor checks every 10 minutes.
