Does the Steam icon in the system tray have little dots over it? This means it's downloading content for one of your games. It will usually only last for a few minutes, and once it's finished, the pings will be normal again.

have you checked your filters to leave out any games over 100 ping? do a server list re-sort by ping and see how low it goes so at least you have an idea if the ping is high because of the servers you list or if it's because of your connection.
have you tried the speed test dsl tool at dslreports.com? just because you have cable doesn't necessarily mean you're gonna have a fast connection. if everyone in your neighborhood is online playing cs at the same time, you're all going to lag each other.

I tried the test and my results were:
Your download speed : 822755 bps, or 822 kbps.
A 100.4 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 331674 bps, or 331 kbps.
From what i know this is a descent connection, but still not enough to make me ping ...

do what davemaster said first, its not about broadband or not, its about location of server relative to you and performance of server aswell as performance of your internet provider in pings. also try pinging a random website: go md dos command prompt, enter ping [address here]. you could try ping www.google.com or any other web server that should give you a decent connection and is in the area/country you live
