If you are on a wireless connection, going to a wired one might help some.

Only a few ways to really obtain a lower ping. I'm guessing you want lower pings for gaming.

Play on servers closer to your area, possibly get a new internet service provider or connection rate that has lower pings, don't use the internet besides the game you are trying to play.

If you are on a shared internet connection with other people in your house there are a few programs to optimize the ping for you, unfortunately they are not free.

This is one ping optimization program that I used and can confirm lowers your ping, or should I say "maintains" your ping at it's usual level as others in your house are using the internet, as in downloading/uploading.
