| No tweaks will change your pings. However, you may want to check your optimum MTU for that specific server. You can go to this FAQ »/faq/1605 and run the test. Your 1492 bit MTU may need to be fragmented so do the test and set your MTU where it doesn't fragment. Again it won't change your ping times, but actually throughput will be better. Do you know if you are on a noise profile »/faq/2184? That will increase your ping times in an effort to get better line stability.

I have added detailed instructions to this FAQ »/faq/2184 about how to check if your line is "fastpath" or "interleave".
