High Ping?

[weemax]

Well, after having lost around 30 games in a row of GOW2, i was beginning to wonder if my connection had gone up the left.

Ive heard about ping. So, i ran a test to google.com Results showed between 130ms-200+ms. Only been happening this past week or so, but fed up online gaming atm.

I am wireless to my console, but havent had it as bad as this before.

What does anyone think? Are those ping times high? It would affect my gaming?

Ok first, google.com is an american server. Go to start > run > type cmd > then type "tracert google.co.uk" without the " and post your results here. Then we can determine the problem.
Edit : I ran a test to 5 american servers from speedtest.com including a ping to google.com and majority resulted in 150ms ping.
