[cod] Cod4 Pings unusually high

[Jon Adams]

I had heard of a ping-bug on some servers, relating to the way in which the
server deals with pings - it's possible you are pinging well - but the game
is telling you otherwise. I had thought it had been fixed, but you never
know! perhaps it's worth some restarts, clearing out logs etc - also try
throughout the day, see if there is a pattern? Ping is a strange thing
indeed, and people tend to get there numbers jumbled - so I suppose what I'm
saying is to really scrutinise your ping over a few days/weeks and report
back if there still is an issue. You might find that you play COD4 at 9pm
and then switch to TF2 later on, when you're ISP is less likely to throttle
back bandwidth.
