Which server? Where are you located? I never have problems with our servers, but others sometime do (#2 in particular) - the folks out east in particular, it seems.
Server 1 is in Chicago, and server 2 is in Dallas. Go to speedtest;.net and test your connection to servers in those cities. Note you ping/latency to them. That is pretty much what you should expect to get in our servers.
If you have a router with QOS traffic shaping, give BF priority. I use it on mine and even if all three computers in the house are up/downloading, my gameplay is not affected. There are a handful of other little tweaks that may help your latency on your end. What router do you have?.
You can also try updating y our Punkbuster by getting pbsetup.exe from evenbalance.com on
this page.
