Q. When I play Tetris on facebook, my computer will have a slight lag and causes me to lose. I have a decent computer that can handle starcraft 2 on ultra settings. What causes online games like tetris to lag?
A. you're computer's fine, just that your internet connection isn't up to speed.
get better connection

What are the best settings for a computer shop?
Q. I have a computer shop with 10 computers, and working in 1 Internet Connection.
What are the best settings for my router to decrease the ping? Because when the users play online games it's kind of laggy.
I have a Cisco Router and a 16port switch.
My ISP is PLDT. Down Speed of 415Kilobytes per sec.
I kind of know nothing of these things. So any suggestions?
Tnx for the help.

A. You need to test your connection properly before determining where the bottleneck really is to start. Try "pingtest.net" and "speedtest.net", having your main computer connected direct to the modem, (wired and no switch or router) and take notes on results. Then try the same again with switch and no other comps connected and again with other comps connected and configured how you would on normal basis. Once you've collected you result data, make sure you have no more than 40 percent loss between results from first test and any other tests (the biggest drop would indicate the bottleneck.
Furthermore, your initial test should have a ping less than 200 (under 100 is decent, under 50 is excelent) and a download speed of at least 10Mb/s (20Mb/s or more is probably desired for your application). If theses minimal connection requirements aren't met, you should discuss with your provider about better connections or change providers to one that can meet these requirements.
Your switch should be capable of 1Mb/s per channel (for a 16 port you need a 16+Mb/s switch, but you are likely to only find 10Mb/s switches. So maybe find a 10 port switch that supports the 10Mb/s.)
Final note: these are simply suggested settings for OPTIMAL connections that support many computers to game and use high bandwith application (ie: youtube) with minimal lag. Other workaround would be to have 2 or 3 connection each split into their own routers...
