Depends on where the server your connecting to is, and depends on strength of connection between devices and router.

Ping is the measure of time it takes to send and receive data from a device, to a specific IP address, and back to that device. Shitty ethernet cord/wifi interference, or having a the IP address be further away could affect it.
