I've been experiencing some frustratingly high ping lately, reaching around 80-90ms. This makes my online gaming nearly impossible. I'm located in Sweden, and the game servers I connect to are in Germany. Is there any way to reduce my ping, or am I just stuck with it?

Honestly, 80-90ms isn't all that bad. It's on the higher side for some games, but many players manage just fine with those numbers. What games are you playing? Have you tested ping on different games?
That ping isn't absurdly high. You might want to check your connection stability. If it's spiking a lot, it could be your ISP. Sometimes changing servers or even your Internet setup might help!
Don't overthink it! 80-90ms isn't a dealbreaker. Just roll with it. And hey, if you ever get tired of it, you could always just move to Germany and solve it!
1. 80-90ms is pretty average, especially for international gaming. 2. If you used to have lower ping, you could try switching ISPs or go setup close to the server if possible.
If you have an option, try connecting to closer servers. That could make a big difference!
