Hey, when i try join EU servers on any game it says over 400 ping on any game, but it says i get over 30MBPS on my speedtest, help?
 
Did you run speedtest on a speedtest server that was located in the same city as the game servers.

You can't compare bandwidth to latency they are completely different things. Speedtest should show you the ping latency.

Still games are telling lies. Most do not actually use ping to measure the latency. What they are doing is calculating the time based on data being send between the game client on your machine and the game servers. This include delays in both the game on your machine as well as any delays on the server itself. From a game perspective this is a much better measure of delays you will see in game....BUT it does not mean those are all network delays.

You need to use manual ping and traceroute to see where the delays are to the game servers. Still in most cases there is nothing you can do to fix it. It can be a distance issue or it may be because of inefficient paths in the internet between you and the server. None of this can be fixed other than maybe moving to a different city/country where you can get different internet connection.
