Does anyone know how to lower my ping in the country i live in (Cyprus)

[-Floki-]

I have 40 mbps download and 700 kbps upload speed. Will increasing my upload speed help into lowering my ping and getting a more stable connection? Please help

Well, your computer sends and receives information to a server out there.
If it uploads more than it downloads (which it usually doesn't), then increase your upload speed.

I mean, I suggest you get atleast 2mbps (2000kbps).
Your download speed should be enough.

So you suggest me to lower my download and pay more for upload?

I mean, you need download speed more than upload.
If possible, increase your upload speed to above 2mbit and keep download speed.

here's the problem. Uploads and downloads are subject to your internet package. I pay for 100mbs. That means at times I could have 60mbs download/40mbs upload. or 50/50. SO, getting a smaller ping is where you’re connecting to. You want to be as close to the server as possible. Like at home with Wi-Fi. closer you are to the base the better the reception.

pretty sure the 100mbit is just download. check your fine print for the upload bandwidth.

@op: you are livin in a bad location for multiplayer games, it is just that simple. if the game allows self hosting and/or has dedicated server files, host a server yourself or rent a server in greece or somewhere other really close by.

ping/latency is all about distance, never about bandwidth. so increasing upload will not help you. you have a typical asymmetrical connection and the upload is sufficient enough to maximize the use of the download bandwidth.
