Voice calls are usable but every word arrives late. The delay stays high and does not swing up and down. Large file copies still finish. Which condition matches the calls?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The words are late by about the same amount the whole time, and the files still arrive. You are hearing latency. A swinging delay, a printer cartridge, and a bulging capacitor are not this steady lag.
Full Explanation
Latency is delay. A delay that stays high, without swinging, is latency, and the calls match it. The file copies still finish, so the path exists and is simply slow for conversation. Jitter is variation in the delay. A delay that stays the same is not jitter, and naming jitter as a steady delay swaps the two. A toner cartridge has nothing to do with voice delay. A swollen capacitor is a motherboard failure. It does not set how late each word arrives on a call that otherwise works. Exam caveat: a call can suffer both latency and jitter. This stem says the delay does not swing, so the condition to name is latency. Operational check: measure the delay to the voice server more than once and confirm it stays high instead of jumping around.
