Hello ,

I live in the middle east,
I play alot of Online games like UT3 , Q3A , Quake Live, Battlefield2 .
This games isnt Anti-Laggy games like Counter-strike ...
I mean , having 150 ping in quake 3 is alittle laggy ..
i just cant simply shot on the target while he's walking .. i need to shot alittle forward to hit him with this ping ..
i have 100-110 ping in servers Located in Germany .. and 110-140 ping in servers Located in the UK , With 2.5Mb/250Kb ADSL connection speed.
My question is : Will i get 70-80 ping if i upgrade my internet speed to 5Mb/500Kb or 8Mb/800Kb ?

Thanks.

I would say no. Games don't send that much info, no where near your upload speeds. Pings are determined by distance, server usage, and a lot of other factors in between: number of routers it goes through, usage on those routers, etc....

different lines, different connection points, different priorities.

Talk to your isp and see if they will test your lines for you. Might just be a local problem.

Take a look at this thread; actual subject irrelevant, but many people ended-up posting their internet speed). You will notice that there isn't much link between throughput (MB/s) and latency (ping).

k , here is it ,
i upgraded my internet to 5Mb download/ 800Kb Upload ...
as u guys saied ... it will not decrase the ping that much .. but hey ... i have 2x2.5Mb with 800Kb upload now .. thats double ...
there will be a little improvment right ? cuz i didnt try it yet..it will take 1 day to the isp to upgrade it ...
having the old dialup 56k speed or 0.5Mb isnt the same as 5Mb :P
is there gonna be alittle improvment with the speed in the game ... ? i mean its will get better with hiting the enemy right ?

I wouldn't think you'd see any gaming improvement, like these guys have said. You'll see faster download speeds, especially from torrents, or multiple downloads at once, though.
