I find this happens to me sometimes as well - all of the people on the server start pinging around 800 - 900, this happens i think because the server admin sets the limit too high - ie they have dsl and think they can handle 10 players. When ten players join, the server can't handle it and everyones pings go up. Then some people get fed up and leave, then the pings go back down again and everything is fine for a while till the server fills up again and it happens all over again.
