It's variable. Mobile data often has a more direct route to Cloudflare's network, potentially leading to lower ping. However, cellular network congestion and signal strength can significantly impact latency. Wi-Fi's ping can be affected by router quality, distance from the router, and network interference. Testing both scenarios is crucial to determine which performs better for your specific location and network conditions.
