I know there are places like pingtest.net to test it, or playing a single player game to see how it is running. I know I see people saying all the time that their ping is going crazy. Would have been nice to know before hand.


Also I hope this is in the correct place.

Press Ctrl-F. The ping and frame-rate should appear at the top right of the screen.

Edit: This is during a game. But I think you mean before you start a game... I have no answer to that question. I used to use speedtest.net and select a server in Los Angeles, but my ping is very stable nowadays.
