tcp/ip degrades over distance. Your best bet is to connect to a server that's closer to you geographically.

If that's not an option.....it's my understanding that creating a game server is relatively simple. Perhaps you could build one for your friends.

As an alternative, take your computer to a different location and see if your lag times still increase. If they do, you could have an app running in the background slowing your machine down causing the lag.

actually from 3 month my ping was very stable like it was 151 and when i do the test on with wimi server newyork it never raises each time the ping result is 151 and it never lagged until i bought new wirless telephone so ip changed and ping with it and from then when i do the test the ping isnt stable 1 time i do the test my ping = 200 and sometimes 230 sometimes 180 so ping isnt stable from when i bought the new telephone so i want to ask if this have anything with the ping

Are you able to Change Your IP Address ?

It's my understanding that with certain games that if you can get an IP Address that the last octet is divisible by 8 then your ping/latency times will be better. So you want your IP to be something like x.x.x.8 or x.x.x.16 or x.x.x.24 and so on. I also understand that the lower the number the better. So even though x.x.x.88 is divisible by 8, x.x.x.16 will perform better since it's closer to 0.
