I think that the largest culprit for crap ping in Quake3 is this:
Your rate is too low.
I bought the game and it was set at 2500, the speed for a 26k modem. It was slow.
Promptly, I pulled down the console and typed the magic line "/rate 4000" (without the quotes) and tadaa! lovely ping and half on my way to beating the LPBs. I have a 56k modem btw, any faster connection then set the rate higher. Slower connection, set the rate lower. Simple as that, really.
Also be sure you're not using any crap free ISP.
