Latency tiers
Latency tiers are a quick signal to help you shortlist plans for a given audience (for example, EU-West or Mainland China).
Current coverage
Plans with any latency tiers: 126 / 400.
Measured: 61 · Estimated fallback: 65 · Last measurement run: 2026-01-11
| Target | Key | Plans covered |
|---|---|---|
| North America (East) | na_east | 126 |
| North America (West) | na_west | 126 |
| Europe (West) | eu_west | 126 |
| Asia (Singapore) | asia_sg | 126 |
| Mainland China | cn_mainland | 126 |
Tier bands
Current model: base 8 ms + (great-circle distance RTT in fiber × 1.6). This is an estimate, not a measurement.
| Tier | Label | Max RTT (ms) |
|---|---|---|
| S | Excellent | 50 |
| A | Great | 90 |
| B | Good | 140 |
| C | OK | 200 |
| D | Poor | 280 |
| E | Very poor | 99999 |
