What's your connection speed? what servers are you connecting to (is their ping high)? What are your specs?

Tell me your ping.
Your internet speed.

Google "internet speed" pick one,and do the test.

Heyyo,

His main prob aint ping, it's probably his internet connection, or his firewall, zonealarm. I actually don't like zonealarm, can't customize it from what I've seen.. you could always try a new firewall like sygate personal firewall, it's fully customizable, and free. ;)

You could try Norton firewall pro and don`t forget to shut down your windows firewall it could be causing this

Heyyo,

Odds are that's not your connect on speed, but merely one of the speeds your LAN can go. But what kindof modem you using to connect to the internet? dial up? (a)dsl? cable? t1?

Ping is another word for latency, it's a measurement of how long it tkaes you to send info from your comp to another comp (usually a server for multiplayer games), and is measure in miliseconds (ms). usually you want pings of like 34ms or 68ms when you're joining HaloPC multiplayer servers, the higher the numnber the worse. So like, 1000ms is a 1 second delay, whish's reallly badd.

Lol, Mard, I once got flamed by some retard in CS who tried to convince me that he had a 100MB/s internet connection. He thought I sucked because mine's 'only' 1MB/s. I suppose if he had gigabyte LAN he'd think he had a 1GB/s internet connection. The only time I've ever heard of a 100MB/s internet connection is at a LAN party attended by 900 people, which is kind of understandable. I went to one with 400 people and we shared a 50MB/s, that was awesome. Fastest connection I've ever been on.

Heyyo,

DSL's usually better than Cable when it comes to internet gaming cause they have higher upload speeds.

As for those cs guys? well most of them are dumb flamers, so they're ghey. I wish me clan was more into old cs 1.6 cause css is just teh ghey.

And dude, we can't tell what your internet connection is, I was asking you if you knew, ask your parents what company, and what internet connection you have if you don't know.
