I mostly use Bit Torrent. And I don't get enough speed on that. Is there any way to remedy that? I will call them back.
How to decrease Ping
I am using Windows 8.1 on a Lenovo 505 laptop. Of late I've been facing lag in my internet speed. So when I took a ping test, it came out 134.
I want to ask, how can I decrease the ping value? Because it's causing my internet to slow down considerably.

- your internet speed
- the speed of the internet used by the server you're downloading from

Hi
The Ping command is just a way to determine your internet speed. The lower the Ping result, the faster your internet speed.
The only way to decrease the speed of the Ping is to get a faster internet connection.
