I was wondering if there is a way to lower your ping (by using tweeks or whatever).

Because I brought up the subject: I'm on a 6mpb connect that runs at 5.5mpbs I dont care about that but, people on games have lower pings than me even on servers that are local... and they only have 1.5mpbs so... wtf??


Anyone got any suggestions?
 
Well you won't be able to exceed a connection faster than your cap. But you can utilize your connection to it's fullest potential. While you're gaming, temporarly block all other services from connecting to the internet.

I can't think of anything else at the moment. You could try using a different operating system such as freebsd (With an emulator).

FreeBSD is the system of choice for high performance network applications. FreeBSD will outperform other systems when running on equivalent hardware. The largest and busiest public server on the Internet, at ftp.freesoftware.com, uses FreeBSD to serve more than 1.2TB/day of downloads. FreeBSD is used by Yahoo!, Qwest and many others as their main server OS because of its ability to handle heavy network traffic with high performance and rock solid reliability. Linux performs well for most applications, however the performance is not optimal under heavy network load. The network performance of Linux is 20-30% below the capacity of FreeBSD running on the same hardware 2. The situation has improved somewhat recently and the 2.4 release of the Linux kernel will introduce a new virutual memory system based on the same concepts as the FreeBSD VM system. Since both operating systems are open source, beneficial technologies are shared and for this reason the performance of Linux and FreeBSD is rapidly converging. Windows is adequate for routine desktop apps, but it is unable to handle heavy network loads. A few organizations try to make it work as an Internet server. For instance, barnesandnoble.com uses Windows-NT, as can be verifyed by the error messages that their webserver produces, such as this recent example: Error Message: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Can't allocate space for object 'queryHistory' in database 'web' because the 'default' segment is full.
For their own "Hotmail" Internet servers, Microsoft used FreeBSD for many years.

It wouldn't make too big of a difference, especially since the above pertains mainly to serving under heavy loads.
 
Well

Remember that the ping differs from place to place. Obviously when you have a server in Germany, those connected to it from Germany are more likely to have a better ping. The speed of you connection will not guarantee a better ping :)

ok so your connecting to a server in your neighborhood..

Your saying LOCAL people on a LOCAL dsl line are getting better pings.

Where is your ISP located? Are you using a Satelite ISP? If so where is it based? Germany?
