Hello,
I have 2 houses.
1 with bad internet and one with good internet. They are 3hrs apart.

The one with bad internet gets a 75ms ping to a cod 4 server.
The other one (good internet) gets 600-700ms ping to the same server.
At both houses i use the same macbook air 13 inch.
Why is this? Its really annoying.
 
Solution
Run a tracert to 8.8.8.8 from each house (or equivalent mac tool), it will show you the different routing of the traffic from each of your houses to the same external IP address (8.8.8.8). Not all routing is equal! Also what connection type are you using? Wifi in both locations or ethernet??
