Why is my internet fast but ping is high?
You could have fantastic bandwidth between your location and your ISP but if the path to the destination outside the ISP is suffering congestion, it will degrade ping times and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. There is no one direct path between you and your destination nor can you specify a path.

Lag is the result of high ping or high latency – which essentially means your internet connection is at a lower speed or quality than it should be. The main giveaway for lag is that it causes delay in your gameplay, with your commands not being acted on by the game immediately.
