High ping even with no network activity

Options
Hi,

I am working on a 2D platformer-shooter with 2 players, using a Photon cloud server.

The PhotonNetwork.ping starts at around 120 and increases after a few seconds to 190-200. There is a very noticable lag, and movement is choppy especially when jumping.

Both players have synchronized transforms, rigidbodies, and animation using the Photon components.
I tried to start a game without any instantiated players, and still the ping never goes below 100.

Is this a server issue? I am located in Israel.

Thanks,
Hadar

    Anyone?
    The game I'm working on is fast-paced, so this lag makes it unplayable and I am pretty much stuck :/

    Perhaps there is something on my side that I'm doing wrong?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Which region do you connect to?
    Did you try others?
    What are your ping times to other services in those regions?
