Hi, i play xbox live. Mainly on call of duty, and ping is a key factor of the game. The lower your ping, the quicker you'll kill people / survive for longer.

So I was wondering, how do you decrease your ping?

Post a result for us. You can just make an excuse for your ISP and hey will come by to add a filter if you have CABLE. If you have fiber optics the newer the modem the better.
EDIT:
Here's mine so you can compare. I have cable with the filter. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Ping is determined by how close you are a to a certain server so even if you have great internet and you go on BF3 and load a server that is located in Europe you will always get low ping.

This is wrong. If you have no idea what you are talking about stay out of it. Ping is how fast your internet can travel between you and the server. So if I had internet that was 1 ms even when I tested it on a server across the world I would have a true lightning speed internet. Usually the more Mbps you get the less ping you have. Distance is a factor but not the whole role.

Check both of the websites. - Also please note, I'm meant to receiving like 25mb, and i'm getting 5mb. If I was receiving 25mb, would my ping be even lower?

I think you should contact your ISP and tell them to give you a new modem and to check the signal strength.

I think you will find that you are the idiot, the data cannot travel faster than the speed of light(yet) so there will ALWAYS be a delay, I have fibre optic connection(speed of light data transfer) and I will obviously get ping lag across the globe, however theoretically aslong as the server is within 3x10^8m to me I will get <1 ms ping.
Also think of the internet as a highway. The number of lanes is your download speed and the distance is always the same. If there is alot of traffic in your house(data traffic) then that will increase your ping as your data gets stuck in a traffic jam of other peoples data, so OT disabling wifi on phones etc will make a difference. Also if you are on a DSL plan with your ISP try to change to get a Fibre Optic plan.

*EDIT*
I hate this "get better internet" thing people are saying, its such a false thing to say, there are multiple ways to make your internet better, for a home user there is upload speed, download speed and type of connection(fibre/cable). "get better internet" just shows you don't know what your talking about and you will end up wasting someones money and time for a lousy post on a forum.

Simple, you get a better internet, or pause your warez while gaming.
