Ultimate package, high ping
Right now I am paying for the ultimate package, as it says in the subject, and have high ping. Speed tests and ping tests online show I have 21ms, but that is different in games. My ping varies from 64 in some games, and 100-120 in others. I know to some that isn't to bad. But, when I lived in NC I payed for 50mbps from TWC and never came over 50ms. Maybe I missed something, I've been looking all over the place. I know internet connects have hiccups, but I'm getting more mbs and higher ping. The connection speed for the browsing and other things is fine. But when my wife or I try to play a game, it lags.

League of Legends and Smite are the only ones I think. The only other game I play at the moment is DayZ and that seems to be fine.

I know you can't just blame the ISP for these things because there are a ton of things that can happen. I'm just looking to see if you guys have any suggestions.

Those are the only servers for NA. I might need to switch ISP's because $100 a month to lag and have that kind of ping isn't acceptable to me. Thanks for your help though.

I'm going to do some more searching and tweak everything I can before I actually make a decision. Thanks again.

Sorry if I came off a bit rude on the last 2 posts.
What about the modem. Could it just be I need to buy a better one?

I agree. Could you go into more detail on the actual symtoms? Sometimes FPS issues can feel like lag problems when your playing. Also, depending on the game and multiplayer style, the game's servers themselves can be having problems. Many times the game's forums is a good place to start if it's that.

Pings are always the isp rofl. My ping to west/central servers from hundreds of hosts is at 100ms lulz. Just formatted pc, I live in a brand new condo, tech said all the connections are really good, I'm in San Diego. Questioning my *** router/modem combo that you guys gave me. Would prefer if you guys gave me a separate device for each, more stability... Connection drops all the time during peak hours. More nodes anyone?

No, they aren't. The ISP, by it's very definition is the Internet Service Provider, so they just provide the internet. Many other companies actually run and handle most of the internet's traffic. Many times the problem can be tracked to the ISP that game uses, or even a congestion issue on the peering node between that ISP and a major backbone provider like Level3.
Then why not bring it back and buy the equipment you want? What equipment you use is completely optional, and I agree seperate units are better for performance and troubleshooting reasons.
Also, im not sure how your post is helpful to the OP. If your having issues, feel free to start a new thread.
