Online Gaming Ping

Hi all.. ok so im having trouble with my ping, well its not trouble.. id just like it to be lower.

It's always on 50 ping whenever i go onto a server on CS:S, COD, COD2, MOHSH.. I have a 8mb connection and tbh it should be lower than constant 50 ping.

I have reformatted my pc because it needed to be but still its on 50 ping.. my pc spec is :

Fujistu Siemens Scaleo T
3.40GHz CPU
2GB of RAM
nVidia Gainward Geforce 7800+ GS AGP

I have absolutely no anti-spyware/virus programs running or anything, and im very sure i have no viruses..

ANyone have any tips on reducing the PING?

Edit : I Live in the UK - England, Birmingham.

Re: Online Gaming Ping

Thats a very good connection, if you live in Europe then you connection will be slightly lower because there are more connection (servers, routers) to connect you to. Plus its a shorter distance..
Having a high internet speed dosnt garanty a better connection. There are several factors, internet traffic, distance from locale exchange, distant from server, ISP quality .. ect ect. I live in WA Australia and mostly connect to Sydney servers and i get a ping of 80-100 and have the same connection speed as you the reason why i have 80-100 ping is because my connection has to travel a few thousand kilometers in a fraction of a second.. :)

Re: Online Gaming Ping

Hey there. 50 ping is a pretty good ping. There is a program could enditall That closes processes you dont need and helps you gain a better ping.
