How to lower the average ping?

[omereilon]

Hey all,

i have a little problem...
in online games like COD MW3 and Counter Strike 1.6 and online softwares like Ventrilo i have the higest ping on the server. i dont mean i have a 150-300 ping.
its seems like i have 5 ping but listed i have 25 ping... And all others have 5-15 ping... i have 20-30 ping... its good i feeling like i have a 5 ping but how to lower this ping? i have a new computer with graphic card - 6770! very good and my computer run this games with no any problem. and my internet speed is 10Mega byte.
i want a ping like the others... 5 ping or 10 ping... beautiful ping =]

thank you advance

Get a different ISP or connect to a closer game server. There is nothing you can really do locally to fix this problem, it's the fact that there are hundreds of miles between you and the server.

there isnt way to lower the average ping? to 5-15 ping.

Not really, no. It depends on the location of the servers. They could be in different countries, your internet has to travel to the other country to connect to that server.

Really not true. I and all my friends playing in israel servers (israel is our location) and I have a friend who lives next to me and has less than 10 ping me when we playing in the same server. and he have same internet speed like my. I think i need to change the network settings on my computer.

Compare your setting to your friend's settings. Also compare each others hardware.

What they said about server location is true, what you said is also true. You have something to compare against - that's a big help in trying to figure it out. good luck.

 

[omereilon]

There isn't another way without comparing? something like disable unused functions on network settings... like QoS and others...

 

[Richardc269]

Dunno why you're that concerned about it. 25 ping compared to 10 is hardly a big jump at all. If it were 125 ping, that'd be different.

 

[Slartybart]

omereilon: not that I know of

Richardc269: it's obvious..... his friend keeps winning the game - lol

 

[omereilon]

You can explain me how to lower my average ping (25 ping) to 10? with disabling features?

 

[pparks1]

run

tracert x.x.x.x

See where the delays are. You should be 1ms or less to your router, and very fast to your ISP's default gateway. You and your friends really should match up to that point. From there, you are going across the Internet. If you are slower now, there is nothing you can do internally to speed that up.

Take Slartybart's suggestion. When you have another device to compare with take advantage of it. You'll likely get it done more quickly and with less trial and error.

 

[omereilon]

So disabling unused features will not solve this problem?
i compared with my friends settings and we have the same settings! he didn't change anything! like me.
I just want to lower my ping to less 5 or 8 than my average... not really big difference

 

[F5ing]

Did you try pparks1's suggestion in post #11?

 

[omereilon]

what is really ISP? and i explained that i and my friends playing in same server at same counter. and we are all living in same place.

ISP=Internet Service Provider,so basically when they ask for your ISP they are asking what company provides you your internet connection,for example i have at&t as my internet service provider that is giving me my connection the internet since i pay them to have a connection to the web so i connect through them through their service.

 

[seavixen32]

ISP is your Internet Service Provider.

 

[omereilon]

They dont care if i have a ping like 20-25 ping. They will help me if i have a 100 ping or more.
Because of this i came here. to get help from you guys just to lower the ping to 10 or 15. like the others.
And what about if i disable some features on network settings... that's can lower the ping?
or another way please

Thanks.

why do you want something lower? That ping is pretty normal, most you could do is change your DNS settings. Can't do much unless you get a better isp. 15-25ping is like almost no difference,it's like less then a ms difference. Here test your DNS settings with namebench Downloads - namebench - Open-source DNS Benchmark Utility - Google Project Hosting Download the one for windows.
Do a network connection test on http://speedtest.net/ then when done note it down
Then run namebench and click start benchmark and when the test is over is should bring up a internet page showing you the best dns severs for your connection.

Open Control Panel > Click Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Click Change Adapter Settings,right click local area connection,select Internet protocol version 4 then select properties then tick use the following DNS severs addresses

Then enter the dns best chosen for you that name bench gave you exactly for primary and secondary then press ok and reboot. Remember do the the test with namebench first then enter these numbers for your dns were I told you .
Select the connection for which you want to configure
Then redo the test at http://speedtest.net/ and you may or may not see a difference, it may even be the same or a tiny bit more speed.

Yes anything up to 30 ping is INSANELY FAST. Most games are playable very well up to 60-80 with unnoticeable issue. I virtually never see anyone at 5-10, they would have to be living in the same city as the servers or something. Many people have to play with pings from 150-300ms and THEN it may start to show some noticeable degradation in reaction speed.

Anyone would (should) be insanely happy with a 30ms ping.
