So, what really is ping? How can I lower my ping even more? What does it matter if your ping is high or low?
 
its a way of determining if an IP is accesible, a packet of info is sent to the ip and a reply is waited for, longer it takes the worse it is really. its name derives from the idea of a sonar "ping" that you here from submarines and the like

I assume you mean your ping in a game, your ping ina game is the amount of time it takes for you to connect to the server and visa versa, To lower your ping you must have a fast internet connection, along with having a computer virus/spyware and adware free. Also do not download other files or leave other aplications running that use the internet.

I didnt read any replies so if any1 sed this alredy...sorry. Ping is latency, meaning the time it takes a packet (data) to go back and forth between yourself and the server u r connecting to. Therefore lower the ping, faster the performance. :-)
