Subject: Reducing my ping rate.

Fear is a necessary foil to disharmony, aftermath of an unresolved battle fought between the eternal self and the rational body. Unable to surrender his preconceived notions of identity, Man does not accept himself as an eternal being, manifest of a universe becoming conscious of itself; He does not fully realize his limitless potential, he does not become the` Total Man, Abraxas.

Can someone educated please let me know if it is possible to reduce your ping rating? I live in Hawaii on an outlying island, as you may know this is the most isolated landmass on Earth and thus the internet quality suffers significantly. I have actually upgraded my internet to a package that costs 70 dollars extra per month, improving my average speedtest rating from 13down/2up/80ping to 30down/5up/80ping. It has made little difference in finding a good connection in halo matchmaking, most games are basically unplayable. When I get host it is unfair for my opponents. Would another upgrade to 50down/10up be my only option? I really would love to play Halo without having to worry about lag constantly; watching the twitchtv streamers playing lag free makes me want to move to the Continental US sometimes.

I came for Halo, but I heard the Tru7h, fought thru Carnage, and stayed for Bungie.

Okay...
1. Bungie is no longer involved with the Halo franchise. Microsoft and its in-house developer 343 Industries have sole ownership.
2. Even if Bungie still made Halo, this is the wrong forum. The Universe forum is for canon discussion only.
3. It is fine if you repost this thread in Bungie.net's off-topic forum, The Flood. Fellow Bnet members there could offer you some free advice on your plight.
4. For official Xbox Live and Halo support, please try the forums at http://halo.xbox.com.
