the other thing to watch out for is where the server you are playing on is located.
For instance in Battlefield 2 I get pings of between 30 and 100 playing on UK based servers.
EU based it goes up to 60 - 150
US based 100 - 250
Far east forget it your already dead.
This is all on 1meg bband from zen.
Some BF2 servers auto kick for pings higher than 200.
What is
Ping
I find not running other internet applications helps, so no downloading while trying to frag people.
