First, make sure all background programs that use an internet connection are turned off when playing the game. This includes instant messengers, Facebook, Steam Client, things like that. On the login screen, try changing the "Engine" to Necrospeed, and set the textures to "Medium" or "Low". This would help if your computer processor is slow.

How is your ping on other games? Are you being booted from them for slow ping or connection issues?

It's possible that without an upgrade to your IPS, it may not get any better.

A number of things contribute to high ping.
Your distance from the server. For example one of the crossfire servers is in Canada, I get 200+ ping because I live so far away from it (Australia)

Your internet connection. The faster your internet is, the lower your ping will be

Reliability. If you don't have reliably even internet you will find your ping spiking (going up alot very fast then back down)

Bandwidth. If you are taking up bandwidth by downloading something, watching youtube or browsing the web your ping will be higher
Connection. A wireless connection (depending on the strength) can add 40-50 to your ping

Router. A router will also slow you down and add to your ping.

Computer. If your computer is running many programs at once or has many processes running this will slow down your ping

Antivirus. Your antivirus will want to scan all incoming packets which will slow you down so make sure you turn it off

Try to google how to decrease ping or its equivalent in your language(if you dont understand much English).

I would not bother with Google. I think you quite possibly just offered the very best explanation I have ever heard! :biggthumbsup:
