Just remember those values from speedtest and now run namebench.

but the benchmark is running up to 10 minutes and nothing happen... i dont get any internet page...
Pal please remember it doesn't matter what speed tests you do you ain't gonna increase your speed that will make much or any difference. your connection speed is how it is.
You will only be able to control your latency by changing your game settings and this is still not going to make you the elite game player that you hope to be.
This is why game servers control your max/min speed connection, otherwise it would be unfair and unplayable as all those with super fast connection would own.
You haven't said whether you are getting any lag in game? But if you are it doesn't seem that your ping is the cause of this as you have an acceptable ping rate
I just said that with speedtest that you test it to see your connection then after applying the new dns settings you can restest and see if your connection got better or not like if your download and upload went up and your ping went down. That's all that I was saying with speedtest,happy to explain if you have any other questions regarding my instructions to clear any confusion.Also the namebench test ends when a IE window pops up showing your results and you should also see some numbers moving on the bottom left of the namebench window
If the ping stays the same then there's not much you can do but go to a different sever to play on that is closer to your area.
Anyways your speeds are very good,hell I wish I got those speeds,I get 5.5Mb/s download with a 64Mb/s upload and a ping of 26. I believe that getting a provider with a higher upload speed might lower it a bit but I cant promise, whats your friends upload speed,his is possibly higher and that's why he gets a slightly lower ping.
Ok, here is a ping to Google

You can see I run between 70 and 94ms.
Now, let's tracert to google.

So, you can see the first hop, the 12ms to 192.168.1.1 is my computer, going over wireless to my router. So, out of the 70-80ms to google, only about 12ms is within my house. Everything else happens once it's left my router and is out in the Internet.
As others have said, sub 30ms pings to a game server is excellent. Getting to 10ms not going to help you. It's 20ms. That's a tiny amount of time.
