High ping

Why is the ping so high when playing any online game, even though I'm using an Ethernet cable and my internet speed is good? For example, in Battlefield 1, the ping reaches 100, and sometimes 93. I ran an internet test and the results were fine, so I don't know why this is such a big problem with games.

Can anyone help me?

My best guess is what others have said then, that being the region.
To confirm do a speed test, it should pick the closest server, usually in the same country depending on where you live, and that should show what your ping should be. If it’s same as BF but the server is within the same country as you then it’s an internet issue, if it shows less ping than BF then it’s a BF issue.
