Ping time

There used to be a ping time indicator at the bottom of the page. This was very useful since I am not the only internet user on our ISP connection. So whenever I see that my ping takes more that 1sec it does not make sense to play fast games.

Now that the ping time display is gone I am loosing games because I am entering games without knowing that my ping is too bad for quick games.

Please bring it back so that we know if our connection is good enough.
thank you very much, i now realise i got this same problem..

if you click your name right upper corner it shows your ping in ms
My ping is 22ms. Is that good or bad?

I always thought 'ping' was half a table-tennis game :D
22ms is very good. Depending on where you are in the world, anything under 400 ms is probably reasonable (on a lightning fast connection here in the US, I average 102 ms or so, just because the US is rather far away from the server).

I ussually have no big trouble playing fast games with 320ms.
PS: I live in Argentina.
What is the ideal ping time range to play bullet? Actually I reckon due to slow net speed even my pre-moves take some time to proceed although a little compensate time is there!
@nickruesen98 thanks, now I know where to look for the ping. :)
Mine is currently between 400-600ms which is not so great...
12-15? geeze.. no wonder why it seems people have a time advantage. Do you live inside the server building or something?
