Low Ping on speed test, but high ping on gaming

I just did a speed test on my gaming laptop and it says I have a 15 MS ping, but when I go to play Call of Duty for example it says I get like 70 MS.. If anyone can help me with this situation that would be greatly appreciated since I spent a bit of money on this, Thank you!

what are your default dns on the xr500 and look through the lists to find the closest or dns to your state here https://sites.google.com/site/kiwi78/public-dns-servers. but make sure to use ping plotter to see your latency on the dns. i also have charter, my ping used to be an 70, then i change modems that drop me down to a 40, and just a few days ago im at an consisted 20 ping but i dont know why?. im in st.louis,mo.

Are you getting this game ping from the Geo-Filter or the in game ping? Is your Geo-Filter setup with the CoD profile?

Re: Low Ping on speed test, but high ping on gaming

Arris SB6190 is the Puma6 chipset, which if I recall correctly, is under a class action lawsuit for its lack of performance (high pings) during gaming.  Might want to try the Netgear CM600, I beleive it uses a different chipset AND compliant with 400MB speeds for Spectrum.

 

p.s. still getting 60Mbit?  most parts of the country were upgraded to either 100/10 or 200/10 as base speeds.  You may have as i did, still have some old cat5 patch cables hindering performance.  Might want to to check that too and get Cat6 or better.
