Is my internet fast enough for this

My credit card company often has weekly promotions where the first 10, 50, or 200 or so people who click on a link gets a huge discount on items when a counter runs out.

I'm wondering if it is even worth it for me to attempt to do this considering that my internet is super slow. Or does this have nothing to do how fast my internet is?

Here are my speedtest results:

2.65 Mb/s down
0.73 Mb/s up

 

Latency, not speed, is going to matter in this case. The faster your message can get to the server, the earlier you're going to be in line.

 

Thank you very much for your reply. I've never heard of latency before so I read up on it. If I'm understanding everything correctly, it is simliar to ping? If so, here are my ping results.

128 ms Ping
18 ms Jitter
0% Packet loss

What do you all think?

Thanks again.

 

It doesn't. Your internet is fast enough for browsing. Additionally what they most likely register "clicks" which is instant- fact that with your connection the page is going to load a second or two longer doesn't matter. Your "click" has been registered. So your main concern is that you have to click it soon enough not the time it takes the site to load afterwards.

EDIT: Your latency is high (that's not good) but it doesn’t matter anyway.
Assuming my latency is 20ms and yours is 120ms- if we click at the same moment my "click" would be registered 0.1 seconds before yours.

 

you have a fine connection but your latency is bad. as download said he would be faster than you cause he isn't doing a lot of DOWNLOADS (pun) but the more you use your connection the longer it'll take for them to respond to you cause there is so much going on that your internet can only take.
