Ping is the time of the packet being send from the client to your server and back and forth. Two ways to increase it is to have a good upload and download speed or live close by the server host.

Some things that affect your ping:
-Your hardware/computer
-Quality of your home network(incl. your router/modem)
-Quality of your ISP's service
-Distance between you and the server
-Quality of the server

It's probably only within your powers to improve one of the first two/three.

Quality of ISP is really needed. My ISP is having much routing problem and ping have raised quite a lot b/w months. Changed to low and jumped to high.
