There is no program to lower your ping all you can do is get the best internet you can and play on game servers that are close to were you live.

Your probably joining US and UK servers, if you can't find any Australia servers, look here.

And if your ping is still high, it may be your Internet Speeds, or your on a Wifi connection, or you or someone else on the network is doing something to cause the connection to be slow. *Downloading/Uploading*

Ring up your ISP and ask to turn of interleaving

In CoD4, there are also several things you can do with the console to improve your ping such as increasing packets and reducing duplicated packets (as long as your connection is good enough in the first place)...

Using Bittorent raises your ping.
Make sure it's closed.

one post in one sections is sufficient

I think that would be obvious, how would you know that he is using a bit-torrent program.

I don't know about cod4, but in games such as half-life and counter-strike you can alter your rates to lower your latency.

The thing I most recommend you to do is ring your ISP up and turn interleaving off, this will decrease your ping by alot.

I would like to know as well. I play Counter Strike: Source and my ping is ok most of the time. But sometimes (I'm not downloading anything at these times) it goes from 40-50 to around 400-500.
