 accually ping times aren't your greatest concern.  the biggest concern is
how long it takes your server "hop" from server to server and finally your
destination.  if you have windows 95' get a ms-dos window and type "tracert"
and then the sites address "10.4.56.78.34" or something like
www.myserver.com  and then it will give you the server names you are
connecting to and the ping time.  you should only have to "hop" about 8-10
times.  if more like 15-20, find a new isp.  check out cnet.com for more
speed tips.  it should be on their front page.
