Hi, hehe, well, take a look of this.. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping)

If your ping is lower than other players it is because you are near the area of the running server, its good, dont worry..
*i.e: if you live in Texas, you may get a very low ping, 'cause there is running a server called Cat-Man-du, but if you live in Chile for example, your ping should be above 250 running the same server..

The most important thing is the server ubication, if you are TOO far from the server, then you will get a high ping (really bad = 600 or higher), but if you are near the location of the server, its fine, no matters whats your ping if it stays under 150..

I mean it, read again the previous posts..!!!!
