Counter Strike – Effective Ways to Tweak Ping in Counter-Strike

counter-strike

Are there any ways to reduce my ping in Counter-Strike 1.6?

On most servers in my country the ping is around 90-120. I like to reduce it without switching ISPs and don't want to pay for fastpath.

I don't want to get it down to around 15, but 40-60 would be a nice improvement!

Ping is a function of your internet speed, and distance to the server. Network geographically close servers will have lower pings than those far away.

Without a faster internet connection or a closer server your stuck where you are at.

If your computer is connected to the internet via a wireless network then that could be a bottleneck in your speed. The fastest connection will be with a wired connection.

Edit: One more note; If you host the game you will have the lowest ping.
