Get a Lan cable not wifi, stop any high bandwidth programs like torrents, video streams. move closer to canananandada

1) Never use wireless connections, and remember - firewire > ethernet

2) Close any anti-virus software (nod32, avg, norton, etc.)

3) Get game booster (only helps a little, but little can mean a lot sometimes)

4) Set your router to low-security (this is at your own risk, get parent's permission if needed)

5) Keep pestering z8 to set up port-forwarding =D

Does closing your anti virus make that much of a difference?

close any browser
even if you aren't doing anything in them
just close them
log of(easier that restart computer)
or just reset your connection

Close everything(antivirus, sharing programs like ares, etc, all the icons u have in the taskbar, lazy? get gamebooster
clean ur pc with ccleaner(it really works)
use the internet cable and not wifi, well the internet is the same but there are some lag spikes with wifi, not really a problem with me xD

lol i use wifi at ALL times... wireless N is actually a lot faster then wired internet (3 1/2x's faster at 350mps compared to 102mps) and i actually have better ping on wifi... 30-40 on wifi and always 40+ on wired...

best way to fix your ping is to move to canada (except newfoundland) considering its got mostly (99.9%) to do with how far from the server u are...

well my ping is always low 55 to 60 and 70s and my fps is verry low goes from 9 to 30s and i find ppl with high pings do better and r harder to kill (have to hit them more times) so how about some one telling me how to rase my ping so i can compete with players with high pings?
