    Best way to do it is to Grab your router, rip or cut the cables out, Soak it with some water before dousing it with petrol and mistakenly drop a match on it :)

    Okay,there are only few legit ways for you to do this.You are probably not EU which gives you bad ping to this server.If that is not the case and you're still getting bad internet,talk to your internet provider.However if this is the case I'll give you few tips: first one being,using wtfast.WTFast isn't allowed on guildcraft but if you want to improve your connection in lets say league of legends it would work.The other being regedit,which is allowed. You can google how to improve latency using regedit but I'll explain it in short here. by pressing windows key and r there will be a type bar that'll open up,type regedit in it.adding things in registry editor is really risky if you don't know what you're doing.I'm not responsible for what you do to mess up your computer(you shouldn't have any problems if you do everything right) This is the Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces.Once you've gotten there,you will have multiple folders(you can have from 1 to 100 of them,it all depends on your pc).In those folders add DWORDS: TcpAckFrequency & TCPNoDelay please note: CaPs Do MaTtEr
    double click on them and change their value to 1(hexademical) Do it for all the folders you've added and close up regedit once you did all that.Restart your computer and it should have improved the speed a little bit.Please note these examples that are here weren't written by me.

    Before TcpAckFrequency

    Server: "Ok computer, I just sent a data packet over to you, got it?"
    Your computer: …
    Server: "Come on, answer me! I don't have all day! Stop wasting time!"
    Your computer: …
    Server: "Ok, forget it, I've waited long enough, sending another one over! Got it?"
    Your computer: "Yep, got that one, also got the one you sent before, thanks."
    Server: "Well, why didn't you acknowledge the first one when I sent it? I was waiting ages!"
    Your computer: "Sorry, I'm just trying to make the network more efficient by bundling the acknowledgements together in pairs. This is how I'm setup by default."

    After TcpAckFrequency

    Server: "Ok computer, I just sent a data packet over, got it?"
    Your computer: "Yep, send the next!"
    Server: "That was fast! Ok, here's another, got that?"
    Your computer: "Yep, send the next!"
    Server: "Wow! What an improvement! Now that's more like it!"
    Your computer: "Yep, it's certainly keeping me on my toes, thanks!"

    Before TCPNoDelay

    I have this packet I want to send to the server, but it's really small and I'm going to have another packet here in a few milliseconds, so I'll wait and just lump them together.

    After TCPNoDelay
    I got a packet to send
    I send a packet
    Ain't nobody got time to check dat size of dat data.

    I got another packet to send
    Time to send that good stuff

    these are the requirements :

    1. Windows XP or higher (does not work on mac/linux as this is changing window's settings)
    2. Decent CPU - A decent CPU means typically a quad core (or a computer made in this decade). This does increase your CPU by a very small margin. If you aren't running minecraft at 100% CPU you have nothing to worry about.
    3. Internet that isn't dial up - 5 Mbps Down and 1 Mbps Up should be sufficient, but lower limits might still work. This method doesn't make your internet faster, it makes your computer handle and process packets instantly, which means it sends them to the internet faster.
    4. Common sense - If you can't follow instructions then I highly recommend you don't do this.
    5. Admin access on your computer

    If you have any further questions about anything feel free to ask.

    Add - also go to https://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm

    Install it then go to Name servers then run benchmark go the fastest server first then go to open network and sharing center, then go to adapter settings choose your main net work connection (even wifi) right click go tho property after that click to IPV4 (internet protocol version 4) double click then click (Use the Following DNS server addresses) then add your preferred dns server to fastest dns on your benchmark then your second fastest the alternative and there you can lower the ping more or slightly

    True,if you make one wrong step you can mess up your computer.It's as I said,if you add or delete the wrong thing it can be critical,but I have 5 friends that've done it and did everything right.They didn't mess up their computer.It's up to him to decide if he'll do it or if he won't do it.I've been regediting for 2-3 weeks and didn't have any problems with it.

    Best way would be to put your router in water but whole router(can be done easy in kitchen sink) and then cut all cables and you will have best internet ever

    This helps on requests to the dns servers, you only make one request every time you play. Not going to help that much.

    You can fix this by, if u can, undo everything or just reinstall windows if you got a copy.

    My tip:
    First make sure you got no vpn, proxy, etc on running at computer level (yourself) or router level (da thing that u have to route your connect to before your isp). It also depends on how far you live, say you live in France, your ping should be around 15-30 ms. If you live in North America, your ping should be around 150-200 ms. But it can also depend on your isp and how fast your isp computers are. If you got a crappy isp, go get a new one. If you got something or someone else downloading files over your network and you can't have at least 1 Mbps both ways, you will lag (unless your computer knows how to share bandwidth, like mine). If your on WiFi, you will also lag because how unreliable WiFi is. Good luck!

    Checklist:

    Use no wifi
    Use no proxy, tor, WTFast, etc
    Use no vpn
    Be closer to the servers (if you can)
    Get a better isp
    Don't use up all your bandwidth, leave at least 1 Mbps both ways (Leaving more helps)
    Enjoy better ping
