Ping only ever seems to be a problem for me with BF2 and BF2142, any other game its rather stable, but in these games it varies constantly from 40 to 100+. Just a few moments ago I was playing on a server, suddenly I see in the bottom of the screen "WARNING KICKING RED-SHIRT FOR HIGH PING[ADMIN DECISION]" Boom, kicked. Now on this server my ping was around 60 when i joined and was around that level, when I saw the message it was at about 100. but in a 42 man server there were a few at 80-100.

I was kicked, had to wait a minute then I rejoined,different map, ping back at 60. 10 mins into the game I see the warning again. I mean its not like the entire server was freezing up or anything, in fact I didn't even notice a thing. I was with 2-3 squad mates capping a relativity distant and quiet flag.

So I rejoin a 3rd time. Before i can even spawn I'm kicked again, this time with a different message, saying I was kicked due to a kickvote or admin kick. Tried to get back on, says I'm banned.

Now is a 100 Pinger really such a threat? will 1 guy with a ping that occasionally spikes to 100 bring down the entire server and cause the world to erupt in flames.

Now I am on a router, and no matter what I try Bf2 and 2142 has always given me problems with my ping, with source game I get a hickup when i first try to play online, The connection to server normally pings out on the loading screen or just as the motd pops up, after that 1 hickup I can play for as long as I wish, join any server, so long as I don't exit the game.

So my question, is there a way to reduce my ping, or fake it so I can play in peace? because every other server in my browser thats populated is 150+, I join the 60 ping server and I get kicked/banned 10 mins into the game because my ping spikes.
