i have been looking at this site for a while and recently made an account because i have been looking for some flow network tweaks to lower my ping, here are some speed test results.

while i can easily work my way around a pc, networking has never been a strong point or a point of interest but long story short..
in flow's F-spot's (some) i have seen that they get at least a 10-30 ping difference so my servers and other servers
(i have a few game servers hosted in US [Maryland] now i have never bought a good router yet cause i was stuck in a 2 year contract with blink and got flow in August i was wondering...
what can i do to lower it some more it is my personal network,
and would buying a router really help?
and wtf how come f-spot with a lot of traffic getting lower pings than i am O_o

Your pings look fantastic as is.

Anything sub 100 to servers in the US is considered good.

What sort of pings are you hoping to achieve?

ok well  the speed test results here were fine but in game at home i get 70 ping to one
florida server and 110 to a washington
and i tested the same servers @ dif flow locations and some got at leasy 40-60 and 85-95
with traffic ofc it was fluctuating but i never got that low ping before...
lowering ping is a big deal cause i play games where ping makes a player
idk if you guys remember these games they are old but i have to use my laptop cause my rig
is trashed atm: mw2,halo 2,CS, but mostly i need it for halo 1
a game where hit detection is old like you have to lead to hit someone i really don't want
to squander money on a router that will do nothing so thanks in advanced for the help.

Where did you get the 40 - 60 ping?

85 - 120 is typical range for servers in the states. Usually get the lowest pings to game servers in Atlanta

If you are getting 70 to one in Florida. That is absolutely fantastic. Honestly.

I don't think any router would improve that.

The only time I have seen pings consistently lower is using Flow's corporate internet connection (fibre), as opposed to their domestic connections. At about $12,000 a month, don't think that will be financially viable for gaming.

Holy crap that is some great pings. You sitting on a flow server or something?

[Arcmanov]

Indeed.

That's as good as you're going to get it.
There are people that would give a body-part to get those pings on a consistent basis.

Just offer up a pagan sacrifice, touch nothing, and game on.
