    You don't really have any control over your ping times. Even low end dsl or cable is more than enough for Quake bandwidth-wise... it all comes down to how physically far away from the server you are, and your ISP's routing.

          could help to figure out where your OC is i think, and the route your connection is taking to said server...
          If u have hi speed internet and have issues, contact your ISP.
          But if u live out in the boonies, u may be screwed, sorry if thats the case...

              You can't control your ping; it's dependent on factors outside of your own net connection, and outside of your ISP even. The server's connection, how many hops your data has to take to reach the server, how much latency there is at each such hop, etc. A higher speed connection can help some, but ultimately latency is the biggest bottleneck, and any reasonably decent modern connection will eliminate the speed differential, leaving just latency as the sole contributor.

              All you can do is try a few different servers and play on the one you get the best pings to.

                Incase u didnt see the post by Bluntz in another thread, bringing down your max fps could help for sure.

                Lowering mine to 240 makes for best ping for me.
                EDIT: oops, my bad... i see now u saw that post... So did it work for u ?

                  cl_maxfps is the var for DP

                  in the console type in cl_maxfps 200

                  try higher and lower values to adjust a small amount.
