I usually get sub 50 ping on L4D dedicated servers. Normally around 30.

Consistantly though?

Right now going on lan between my 3 comps in uT2004 I have 9 ping on the highest one, and that's using a wireless, not ethernet. There is no way to reachtht on the actual internet.

yes, actually there is. When I used XBC there were times I was getting around 38 ping consistantly. Even still, this is irrelevant to the initial response I made, because having good PING is only a bonus of LANing, not the purpose of doing it.

It IS the purpose of it. Having internet in a house is a given so unless you get the switch out in the middle of a cave using your laptops, chances are there is an internet ocnnection around. The purpose of a LAN is to reduce the pings as much as possible, there is a reason why ALL tournaments are done using LAN not the shitty internet. Also those 39 ping times are 30 ms more than my wireless LAN.
