Need a little more information.

Who is your ISP?
Run a ping to a few sites and record the latency. (www.google.com / www.yahoo.com)
Run an online bandwidth test and compare your results there to your ping latency results. (www.speedtest.net is my favorite)\
What router are you using?
Are you connected wirelessly or wired?

Forget ping, run a tracert. More hops = bad, over 30 hops = very bad.

Otherwise, I totally agree with FreeNerd.
