# São Paulo, Brazil → Singapore RTT

🇧🇷 **São Paulo, Brazil (GRU)** → 🇸🇬 **Singapore (SIN)**

Measurement round: `2026-08-16T04:07:28Z`.

For the 2026-08-16T04:07:28Z round, ICMP echo probes from São Paulo to Singapore averaged 297.1 ms, with a minimum of 280.43 ms and a maximum of 326.59 ms. Standard deviation was 11.31 ms, jitter was 10.86 ms, and packet loss was 0% across the 50 samples.

The great-circle distance is 15,998.2 km, yielding a vacuum one-way floor of 106.73 ms and an approximate fiber floor of 156.67 ms. The observed RTT is 1.9 times that fiber floor, or 52.7% fiber efficiency, placing this in the high-latency tier.

This route ranked 18th of 19 outbound paths measured from São Paulo in this round. Its standard deviation is about 3.8% of the average, above the 3.28% median stdev-to-average ratio for those 19 paths, and the max-min spread of 46.16 ms makes the round-trip time less predictable than the average alone suggests.

## About This Measurement

Published RTT reflects best-case backbone path behavior measured with ICMP echo probes between PoPs. End-user latency also depends on local access networks, congestion, routing policy, and traffic engineering. None of these values is an SLA.

The measurement round behind this page is published as open data under **CC BY 4.0** in the [Hats Network latency dataset](/opendata/latency/). Per-pair files are available at `/opendata/latency/latest/pairs/gru-sin.pings.{csv,json,yaml}`. When citing, include the route, the measurement round timestamp, and the dataset version — for example: "Hats Network latency dataset, São Paulo → Singapore round 2026-08-16T04:07:28Z, CC BY 4.0".
