Lowering Ping

phenix456 · 02-04-2009, 09:27 AM

Hi, im new to online gaming and have very little experience in it, although i do have a couple of years experience in pc support.

My problem is that my ping to a server (counter strike) somewhere in the states in going at 233ms-310ms. Its more or less the same to all servers and most servers require a ping of 90ms or less.

Whats the best way to lower my ping without doing major hardware changes.

* Currently using 512kb/s wifi internet
* basic p4 system (2.66Ghz, 512mb ram and onboard intel graphics.)

this is my current speeds

phone your ISP (internet service provider) and see if they can max out oyur internet performance

otherwise you're going to have to change your internet account to a faster one
