#(removed comment) You'll always have a ping. It's just the form of means that your signal actually reached the host. If you can't reach the host you can't connect to it hence you can't even play cs. The greater the distance the higher the latency, or ping in this case will be.

Standardly inaccurate explanation for kids. Most technologically useful fiber cables are so thin you mustn't use description with rays. You must treat light as a wave, then you see that there is no bouncing, just a few (or even better, one) modes of uniform propagation, where the wave has a constant cross section.

There is allot more than that but i guess in its simplistic form its affective. We studied this form of media for about half a semester.

"Total Internal Reflection"

Total? I think not.

If it were 'Total' internal reflection, we wouldn't be able to see it from the side as it leaves the bucket. Some light escapes.
