Optimal Latency Recommendations
Your Internet Connection Matters Most
The quality of your online jamming experience depends heavily on your internet connection. Fiber internet (FTTx) provides the best results, with significantly lower latency than other connection types.
Important to know: When ISPs advertise "fast internet," they're usually talking about bandwidth, not latency. Even high-bandwidth cable or DSL connections can have too much latency for smooth online jamming. For the best experience with Jam Music, we strongly recommend using a fiber connection where available.
Distance and Location
Physics still matters in the digital world! Your physical distance from other musicians affects performance. While Jam Music uses advanced cloud technology to optimize connections, results vary based on location. Generally:
Best results: Players within the same region
Good results: Up to 1000 miles apart (with fiber internet)
Variable results: Longer distances
