Hello I'm from Australia and and I love to play MMORPG's but they are all on NA or EU servers so it's not as easy for me to play them with my (180 - 250 MS), this is probably just a answer that has been answered thousands of time but is there anyway for me to be able to reduce my ping even by a little? THANK YOU

No, that's not correct. All routing happens through your ISPs, and the time it takes for a packet to travel to them and back is determined by their systems. You have no control over this process.

Not significantly. Ping decreases only slightly when internet speeds increase. Both download and upload need improvement as well. Ping measures the time it takes for data to travel between your device and the server, going both ways. These changes will only reduce ping by a very small amount—up to about 50ms at most (the biggest difference I've observed between the same country and server using different connections).

Avoid playing MMORPGs without alternate universe servers.

based on the MMORPG you're playing, 180-250ms should work fine, anything over 250 is likely too slow.
for AU servers, most are located in Singapore, and the direct connection tends to break every 2-4 weeks.
@Arbyops1
depending on your ISP and the DNS servers you use, you might be getting the best performance possible.
many recommend using DNS 1.1.1.1 for gaming, though I haven't tried it myself.
