Questions about ping

It seems like as time goes on, my ping is averaging at a higher number. It used to stay in the 200-300 range, and now it sits around 500 most of the time.

What is an average ping for this site?

Does ping increase as # of players increases?

I have to pre-move practically ever single move in order to play 1+0. Ping is always near 500, occasionally going higher. I lost several games today that I should have won because of this.

I guess I can't play bullet anymore. I don't understand why my other account could play thousands of bullet games with a ping near 200, but all of a sudden my ping rarely goes as low as 400 with this new account.

Nothing changed, I haven't downloaded anything on my computer (as if memory even counted toward ping)...all I did was change my name.

Is there any way to lower your ping?
Recently it has been much higher. Often reaching 1,000.

At the moment it's hovering between 1,500 and 3,000. I don't understand this, it's insane.
A good ping is made under 200-300 ms
I think the number of players increase a little your ping but when you have a high ping, it's more your connection for internet as the number of players
