It's something like this, in the internet: 1-10 ms (milliseconds): Excellent (typically local 10/100 network) 11-50 ms: Typical for T1s, T3s, etc. 51-100 ms: Typical for Frame Relay, DSL, ISDN etc. 101-300 ms: Typical for 56K dial-up Modems 301+ ms: getting bad, probably some congestion 1000+ ms (1 second): horrible, mis-route or some other failure
You should always do about 10 pings and get the average, since a packet drop, a route build, or a collision can cause the occasional packet to be hundreds of ms more than it should be.
