Isn't this ping kind of high?

I have AT&T U-verse 20/2 internet. Here is my speedtest. Quite good for the promised 20/2 but the ping just seems pretty high considering I'm right in the middle of the city of Chicago so the server must be close? o_O

I'm connected with power line networking. When I ping the router I get 4ms average.

I think your confusing the two different pings.

The Speedtest goes to the outside world, 23ms is good.

When you use your computer to ping the router, its only within your own LAN.

That is totally normal for a DSL connection. You don't get much better than 20 ms on DSL. Cable can be a bit quicker, in the past I have had 11ms out to the world.
