When I do a speed test on the internet, I have a ping of 20ms, but when I join a Minecraft server (no matter which one), I have a ping of 40ms-2000ms. What could that be?
The speedtest ping has nothing to do with the ping to the server.
Start CMD and enter the following command:
ping domain_des.server
Replace domain_des.server with the domain of the server.
Right, because the speed test measures the ping to another server.
In addition, again "tracert domain_des.servers" would be interesting
Well, the ping you see in the speed test is measured by you to your provider.
The ping in minecraft goes from you to your provider and then continues until he lands at the server. So there comes to your own ping, so to speak, from the server. Depending on where this server is, and what kind of provider it is, the ping can be different. But as long as it is under ~ 80 this should not be a problem in Minecraft, I think.
