DarkExhile Posted March 7, 2005 CID Share Posted March 7, 2005 I have two computers that download around 350 KB/sec (According to the tests here), but when I play games online, I get a ping of about 300 ms. This is rediculous, because it never done this before. This computer has a Radeon card, and the other one has GeForce 4 Ti 4200 64 MB card. I don't really understand why my ping went from 50 ms to 300 in just a matter of three days. They never were this bad before. Anyone know any tips or suggestions on what I should do to improve my ping? Its really... REALLY bad. Both computers run with Windows XP Professional SP2, and have ALL the updates installed. I literally just formatted them both, so they are running in top shape. Its just the internet doesn't seem to be doing that. I hate being killed, and not know about it until twenty seconds later. It sucks. Feels like dial-up all over again. Heres the specs: (Download) Your connection is: 2867 Kbps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing improved... its pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted March 8, 2005 CID Share Posted March 8, 2005 depends on the server... if someone comes in and has a high ping then everyones will go up... that is just something that happens.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the thing, I thought of that too... I go only on servers with pings lower than 40 ms... Usually around 30, and my ping is at 200 still. Every server I go to is the same ping. Or pretty close to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
