1. Fix using Registry Editor
The first thing you can try in order to fix your ping is to fix it using Registry Editor. This is how a lot of people have managed to get rid of the high ping problem.

Then you’ll need to make some extra adjustments to the TCPackFrequency and the TCPNoDelay values before creating a new key called MSMQ. Note: Before deploying this fix, our recommendation is to take the time to back up your Registry values in advance. This will save you in a scenario where you make a mistake during the procedure before and you need to restore your Registry to the previous state. Follow the instructions below to modify the value of NetworkThrottlingIndex to FFFFFFFF: In case you’ve tried this method and it didn’t help you fix your ping problem, go below and check the next one.
