Wait, my understanding that a high ping was good. Isn't how well you are connected? That's what I was told anyway.

it could be your firewall but contact your isp there the experts..Also @jtman562 ping is how long it takes to send data to the server.ping of 300=it takes 3 seconds to send data to server(e.g you shoot someone in a game it takes 3 seconds for them to get hit.)

pings are typically measured/given in milliseconds....

300 = 300ms = almost 1/3rd of a second = slowwwww

Pings of 100 and below (25-75 millisec) are best.....

chances are its your firewall or you security software... i have only run into this issue with a couple of fire walls. 1 by avira and i cant remember the other. i think it was panda... turned out the active malware scan that the security app does causes ping bounce... so try replacing them with something else.
