When I signed up for a trial with a major UK cloud gaming solution last month, the initial load time was 2.3 seconds – faster than the norm broadband router boot‑up I’m used to. That single figure tells a story: latency has dropped enough for most titles to feel “local”. Services such as PlayStation Presently, Xbox Cloud Gaming and the newcomer Rainway all claim sub‑30 ms round‑trip ping on a 100 Mbps FTTC line, and my own tests confirmed it on three separate connections.
