Hey guys i often play online games like overwatch and i cant figure out why my ping is so high? On ookla speedtest i get a ping of 21 and a mbps of 67 which i thought was decently fast? Please help

That reading on speedtest is to the closest speedtest server, not the overwatch servers you are playing on ;-)

D/L speed doesn't effect ping ;-)

What makes you think your ping is high when you are playing? What are you using to monitor your connection when gaming? What are you getting for ping to the overwatch servers when playing?

Overwatch and battlefield 1 both have in game ping counters that will stay around 50-60 for some time before going to above 100ms and other games i can just tell this is happening because of lag spikes
