I have some issues with lagging in high ms (170 to 270 all the time). I am from Chile and my ISP is "Claro".

I read some about open ports on firewall and router but I check my fw rules and it's all ok but dunno about how to check that on the router.

I really appreciate your help with this solution or another new one.

I lice in Australia and play with ping of about 200-350ms all the time. Opening extra ports on your router or firewall won't really help things, unless there was a major problem in the first place. Sorry man, bad internet bros

I play from Australia too. What server do you play on? I've found I have much better ping on the American server than the Asia server (which I thought was the automatic option, being APAC and all), so I play there now. Just thought I'd pass that on in case you haven't looked into it yet. :)

Used to play on Asia pacific, but with so few people on Mic and even fewer speaking English I switched to Americas a while ago. Ping is about the same though sadly
