Mumble vs Ventrilo Latency Test
Jan.15, 2011 in
Fort Collins VoIP Video
This video gives a demonstration of the difference in latency between Ventrilo and Mumble, from a pure codec/protocol standpoint. Both servers are running on the exact same physical server, meaning that they have the same hardware and internet environment – the only difference is the software being used. The difference is staggering. Note that the test servers (voice.tom.net.nz) were only set up for the purposes of this video, and have since been taken down.

@kringkingen with just a few people. it can’t even support more than 10 and 10 alone would be rediculous

I think Skype is the moste practical software to use for communication

@GunnarAztek
Ya well, it depend on where in the world they connect from, how its routed and so on.

Mumble is looking rather good in this video. I have only heard good things about it, might be time to try it out myself. Also shout out to the Kiwis!

My ping to my mumble server is average 5 ms
and my users tell me it usually never goes above 50

I am all for Mumble. I had Ventrilo for 4-5 years, and it served me well.
I switched to Mumble in February… couldn’t be happier. It’s so much quicker and the voice quality is much better than both Vent and TS3.
Find [USA] Gaming in the United States list of mumble servers if anyone wants to join.

Good, conclusive test btw, forgot to say.

Agree with Megagoth and yourself. Mumble seems to be far better in latency and far better voice codecs. I mean, I did have my own Vent and on the highest codec, the voice still wasn’t as sharp in quality (although the Mumble wasn’t mine, so not sure of exact codec used) compared to mumble.
Hopefully this will convince my CSS clan to finally make the switch. They are still clinging to vent.
P.S Found this for another gaming clan through google unintenionally. Used it since. Best mistake ever =D

@M3G4G0TH Cheers mate – your video was good, but I had to see the difference for myself
Agreed, I was very impressed with Mumble!

duuude this video is perfect.
thank you very much for this test! its just perfect, same server, beautiful picture quality, much more clean than mine, hehe. 
spread mumble! lets take over the VOIP world.
note: i am not a mumble DEV, i simply love the software.
have a very nice day!
if you can get two TS3 instances to work anyhow, tell me! i need to test that as well since people are complaining.
