Hi I've been experiencing this problem for over 2 years now and it's getting really annoying. My friend's ping from speedtest is always 1ms but mine is always 35ms or more. We use the same ISP by the way. My ISP is called Turk Telekom. I pay for 50 mbps internet and i get ~45 which's good but my ping is high which makes playing online games really hard, also browsing the web. If any of you had this problem before, any help will be appreciated.

That depends on where you live, your programs running at the background and the placement of the servers of the game.
With a ping of 1ms, he is probably hosting the game, if he is not then it is pretty impossible because even on lan you get 5ms.
And there is no need complain about having 45 ping, i have 80 ping at most when i play, playing online games on 45 ping is fine and there is no visible lag at all, you will start seeing lag when you play in servers where you have 120 ping.
If you still think that 45 ping is making playing online "really hard" then try figuring out how the game's servers work, is somone hosting it like in call of duty or are there servers that host the games like in counter strike.

to lower your ping open the task manager and check what program uses your internet, if you want, and it will not harm your computer close it and it will lower your ping, not by a lot but by a little (it may not help at all, depends on how much bandwidth it uses.

"Ping below 100 is good, below 50 is excellent. I think the maximum acceptable value for ping is 150ms. "

just to give you a clear image how "we" pesants live.
