Wired:

Wireless:

I tested the wireless using my iPod Touch 4G.

In my network, this is the current config.

Wireless/Wired Linksys WRT160Nv2 Router <- Cable Modem + Wired Computers on Hub

There is also a wireless repeater in my other room connected to my Linksys.

Can anyone tell me why my pings are so high?

The thing that you will want to remember about the online speed tests is also the computer you are using. If there is a lot of things running in the background, it can bog down the processor and memory, which will cause a slower download/upload speed. You could try it on a different computer, or try it on the same computer both wired and then wirelessly to get a better feel.

I'm afraid you didn't read my post. My iPod Touch is lagging, not my PC.

@Emerald, I retested to the New York, NY server and now I have 54ms ping time. I still was hoping to get around 10 - 20 ms.
