Hey you all. I just made this account to get this answered!

you see, I just bought this laptop 3 days ago, and ive played games on it before, and the ping was fine, though i moved in to my college now, and the internet speed is higher then i ever seen before. 94 mbs dl, like 84 upload 12 ms ping (probably fiber gold awesome boss executive connection of legend)... though ingame on jedi knight : outcast v1.02 (not important, but for maybe?) my ping is around 500 ms....

disclaimer:

- no dl in the background
- no updates in background
- new laptop was all good in the hood earlier today! on a private connection (but unplayable here)
- tested on private wifi before this on a slower connection, and ping was around 50 ms
- I am using a cable in to the wall, router is centralized.
- I am no noob (but maybe?) :D:D:D:D:D
- just tested anno online, fast start (no lag)
- youtube loades like something fast, like, really fast. omg so fast. omg.

I couldnt figure out how not to get an error when requesting an extended ping to my providers DNS as you prescribed above, so i went to "dnscheck.pingdom.com" and tested "mydomain.com" (in this process I realized that I am indeed noob;( )

this was my result:
