Hey there im new here,i just sign up because i'm desperately need help. Anyway straight to the point,i've been playing game called "Battlefield 4" and about 3 months ago my ping started to raised from 50 to 130++,even now it's still high,i do everything check my router,scan my laptop just in case spyware,port forward and nothing works its still 130++.Also when i restart my router my ping goes lower,but some of the server ping still around 98 even tho' from the same region that is Singapore,sometimes it took me over 4-5 restart the modem router to lower my ping a bit.Yesterday morning the ping was normal all of them back to 50 i was so happy,But as the time pass by it increases back to 130++ ping when i restart my router its still the same.Look at the picture below and you see what i mean

Notice how the ping is different even when on the same region?? We know that Singapore not that big.

Info:
Modem Router: DSL-2750E
Laptop: G46V
Internet speed: 8mbps
 
Solution
The only thing you could do is enable Quality of Service (QoS), but that won't necessarily guarantee a faster ping time. All QoS does is priortise different types of network traffic; voice, audio, video, etc. It's only useful in a busy network environment.
A slightly higher ping response time doesn't immediately mean slow performance. If it was above 1000ms, then there could be a problem.

Bear in mind that the ping has to travel through your LAN, your ISP, the Internet and then pass through the LAN that the server resides on (which can have any number of devices on it). It then reverses the process back to your PC, so a response time of 130ms is absolutely fine.

Ping results can be arbitrary and there are factors beyond your control that can contribute to a higher response time. You only have control over one device in a very long chain.
